Naturally Scented Cinnamon Pine Cones

Love the smell of cinnamon, but hate how strong the artificially fragranced cinnamon pine cones are in the stores? Then you'll want to try these easy DIY cinnamon pine cones.

These cinnamon scented pine cones only use real cinnamon to give a gentle fragrance throughout your home.

You will need 3 ingredients:

  • Pine cones
  • Craft glue
  • Cinnamon powder

Paint on craft glue to the leaves (also called needles) of a pine cone. You will want to make sure the pine cone is cleaned from dirt and debris. As well as making sure that there are no insects inside the pine cone.


After applying glue (do it in small sections if the glue dries quickly), shake on cinnamon powder.


This is the same type of cinnamon that you can buy in the grocery store. However, if you are making a few of these, it will be more economical to buy cinnamon in bulk.

After the glue has dried, gently tap or shake the cinnamon pine cones to remove any excess powder.


Do this over a plate or bowl to capture the extra cinnamon. You can then use the cinnamon for another pine cone.

After dried, place the cinnamon pine cones throughout your home. They are great piled high in a bowl. Or place them on a fireplace mantel or table runner.


This is a more gentle cinnamon aroma compared to the store bought cinnamon scented pine cones, but it is a natural fragrance.

    Love the idea of using natural ingredients. Does the cinnamon scent fade quickly?

  • Esther Esther on Apr 07, 2020

    You mention Pine needles in the project but I only see the cones--no needles/leaves. Do you use the needles too?
