Pine Cone Crafts – Natural Beauty for the Holidays

October 7, 2019 by Patti Estep 2 Comments

Enjoy natural pine cone crafts that are easy to create. Their natural beauty makes them a sure bet for gorgeous home decor.

Decorating with nature is one of my favorite things to do because the beauty of nature is always a sure bet. Today I’m sharing several pine cone crafts of mine along with a few others that you can enjoy creating for your own home decor.

How to Prepare Pine Cones for Crafts

If you are buying your pine cones in a craft store you are set to go. However, if you have access to pine cones in your backyard or someone you know, you will want to prepare them first before crafting.

You never know what’s hiding in those pine cones. Insects, eggs, mold and other spores are not something you want in your home.

Most people cook their pine cones in an oven on foil or parchment for 30 min to an hour at a low temperature like 200 degrees. This should kill any unwanted problems. However, if you don’t want to use the oven Tipnut has several other options for preparing pine cones for crafts.

Good Morning Patti, I’m waking up to cooler temperatures and rain this morning. Which means your pine cone suggestions are perfect timing. I’ve got Christmas on the brain and I’m ready to get back home and move forward and even decorate this year. Always love your posts they inspire me to not give up on keeping the season alive beyond my heart. Have a great day, Carole

  Thank you Carole. As always your warm and encouraging comments make me so happy. I’m hoping fall will stick around for a while but I know that where we live winter will be here before we know it.
