Bleached Pinecones

Here's a way to give pinecones a beautiful bleached look. So easy! And amazing!
I’m a huge fan of NATURALS at Christmas. Greens, acorns, snow pinecones, holly, birch logs, berries, etc! I love to slip this type of Christmas decorating into my decor! And naturals looks so good no matter what your style! Have you ever bleached a pinecone? Everyone should do this science-experiment-diy… it is amazing and fun!
And the results are breathtaking! Bleaching pinecones is a very easy process, but make sure you set aside several days to bleach them. When they are completely dry they open up and turn from dark, deep brown to a soft taupe and white.
I hung bleached pinecones on a thin light taupe ribbon for a monochromatic look. Aren’t they unusual and beautiful? I’ll be making bunches this year for Christmas decorating!
This is such an easy way to give pinecones a different yet natural look. They are really stunning!
