Fall décor
season is amongst us! My favorite decoration piece right now is pine cones. Why?
They’re inexpensive (assuming that you will hunt them out yourselves) and versatile!
You can use this décor for fall and winter. Searching for pine cones is also a great way to involve the kids in decorating for the holidays. Haidyn and I went searching for pine cones in a
backyard even! We had such a great time searching for our perfect pine cones of
all shapes and sizes.
But before
you get all excited about your crafts, you must prepare your
pine cones before crafting. It may surprise you that though pine cones seem harmless
and bugless there are actually lots of critters inside that we might not see.
In turn, we must rid them and melt the sap inside.
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Place pine cones on a baking sheet to create a single
layer ( I put mine on a baking pan because I’m a klutz).
- Bake pine cones for 30-45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let them rest for a couple days
before cutting or using in crafts. This process will kill any bugs and
melt sap.
