Pinecone crafts

Our pine trees have produced more pinecones this year than they have in the past 10 years. I would appreciate any ideas on how to use them.

This will give you some ideas.

Hi Teresa. I make fire starters with them. I wrap wicking around the pine cone leaving a little tail. I then melt soy wax add scent and color and then dip the pine cones in the melted wax. Put them on wax paper to cool. I usually dip mine 3X to achieve more of a color. I bought some decorative X-Mas baskets and put them in the baskets for gifts. Even if you don't have a fireplace they are pretty and smell nice. -

Not a craft but thought I would add my 2 cents. I found this fall that pinecones are great to put in the bottoms of flower pots for light-weight natural drainage! -

Pinterest.com will have lots of ideas for you... There was one post on the forum here, where the crafter had made a pine cone tree that was 4 ft tall....scroll thru and see if you can find the post... she was asking about sealing it...one tip... use the hot glue gun in tandem with a good craft glue (like Aleene's Tacky Glue)... the hot glue will hold..while the craft glue dries.. for a more permanent hold. -

Put them in a large glass vase, and add cinnamon sticks. Do this in several rooms with different glass dishes or baskets.
