My Experiences With Bleaching Pinecones
by
Kathy R
Bleaching Pinecones has been around for years. They look so marvelous in a variety of decor styles. I wanted to include them this year in my Christmas decor. There's a few things to note when you wish to try this. The odor of bleach is strong - begin this project outdoors. Drying is essential - start early and allow air to circulate - the odor can be strong…there's an alternative if you're sensitive to bleach…I shared a few tips and things to remember.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for NOT encouraging people to put bleach in the dang oven! This obviously dangerous & idiotic move is something I've seen over & over again on almost every pinecone bleach post! No one must have paid attention to history, or basic chemistry, this is how Nerve Gas was made in WWI, and it will potentially kill you or your loved ones! Please safety over crafting! Anyone else you know trying this, please warn them NOT to put the bleached pinecones in the oven! I've politely made clear what can happen, but people still want to give it a go anyways... This is NOT the way to start your holiday season.
