Today, I am using items from my yard…PINECONES! I thought that it would be super fun to make scented pinecones to go inside my house for this big chili cook-off I am hosting! So, in the process of cleaning up our yard (guys, it was still a construction zone from the demo/rebuild of our house…and I have legit put in over 40 hours trying to clean it up) I grabbed a few handfuls of pinecones and repurposed them!
Supplies:
- Pinecones
- Essential oils – I used doTerra Harvest Spice and Wild Orange

They smell amazing!!! You have definitely got to try making these on your own! Use whatever essential oils you have!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I’m excited about this! Just curious…How long does the scent last/or do they need to be “re-scented”?
When the scent starts to fade and you want to re-fragrance with the essential oil- do you need to re-bake the pinecones as well? Or simply toss in a bag? Thank you.
