Have Lots of Pinecones? You Can Use 'em

[meme0907]

We have a lot of pine cones in our yard, so I decided to try my hand at making scented pinecones rather than buying them. It turned out to be really simple. Simply soak the pine cones in
scented oil (http://www.compactsearch.com/cgi-bin/smartsearch.cgi?username=meme0907&keywords=scented=oil) and let dry. The pinecones are porous and absorb the scented oil for long lasting scent.

Make some for
gifts (http://www.compactsearch.com/cgi-bin/smartsearch.cgi?username=meme0907&keywords=gift), add them to your wreaths, add them to bows on gifts to dress it up, or have a bowl of pinecones sitting around to make your house smell great.

What a great suggestion. Thank You!

One year we took the pine cones we picked out of the yard and mixed them with some other shaped ones. Dipped the edges of some in glue and glitters and others in cinnamon. Filled bark baskets and decorated with a beautiful ribbon for our families to place on their harth during the christmas season where the heat from the fire place would enhance the frag.
