You know those scented pine cones you can buy in the store? Well, as much as I love the smell of cinnamon, those are way too powerful for me! Still, I love decorating with pine cones, and I wanted the house to smell nice for the holidays, so I went the DIY route and made my own scented pine cones.
I live in the middle of the desert, and although we don't have any pine trees around here, I try to collect some whenever we travel.
I mixed a few drops of the oils with some distilled water in a spray bottle, shook the bottle for a few seconds, and then I sprayed the pine cones liberally with this solution.
When I opened the bag, the pine cones smelled wonderful! I placed the cones into a large silver dish, and now, my house smells wonderful, as well!
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
Great idea, how long does the scent last? :)
does it have to be distilled water
I picked up pine cones from my yard. Left them in the sun for days and picked the seeds/leaves and did my project. About a week later my house was full of weird moths which took me weeks to get rid of
lots of cleaning etc. so does any body know what I should have used to get rid if the larve which I assume caused the moths??
