This is a great all-natural way to "bleach" pinecones without the harmful bleach chemicals! It only takes a few minutes of hands-on time. Hope this helps with some inspiration. Hugs, Holly

Hi Katherine,
Sting them together for a Garland. Hot Glue them to a Wreath Frame, or to a Cone former to make a tree adding other bits a pieces to make it look the way you want. Stick around a Candle. Have fun!
Lots of exciting ideas here:

One of my favorites is to open them up on a foil lined cookie sheet in a slow oven, 150 degrees. The smell of fresh pine fills the house.
You can make a wreath, fill a container with them and some white lights, make them into tree ornaments, paint them, and use them to decorate your table.
Here are some ideas to inspire you:

Hi Katherine, I love using pinecones at Christmas. Lots of times I just fill bowls or cake plates with them and place they through my home. I also attach pieces of thread to them and use them to decorate my Christmas tree. They are so cute and free!

We used to have pine cone fights until the snow came and we could do snow ball fights when I was a kid. Actually lots of people make a pine cone center piece. Add glitter or the spray on snow.

I love them in a bowl with cinnamon sticks
