    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 easy DIY pine cone crafts of mine along with a few others that you can enjoy creating for your own home decor.

    I feel like they are geared more toward adults but there are a bunch here that could be made with kids too.

    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 bake their pine cones in the oven on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet for an hour or so 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.

    16 Fabulous Pine Cone Decorating Ideas

    Whether it's seasonal decorations like Christmas ornaments or other creative ways to craft with pine cones you will surely find inspiration here.

      I have three good size boxes of pin ones in my basement. They are all ready to craft. I have been pinning ideas on Pinterest. I really want to make some of the “flower” wreaths. They are so pretty. Great ideas here Patti.

      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.
