Pinecones are probably my favorite fall and winter decor; they’re just so pretty! Now that the weather is starting to get cold, I see scented pinecones on the shelves every time I’m in Michaels, and they smell fantastic! But I also see tons of fallen pinecones on the ground when we’re out on a walk, so I figured that this year I would make my own cinnamon scented pinecones to use in my decor. It’s super easy to do, doesn’t cost hardly anything, and the scent is 100% natural and lasts way longer than store-bought! So today I’m going to share how to make cinnamon scented pinecones, two different ways! Pull the pinecones out and let them cool on the foil-lined cookie sheet until they are room temperature before adding any scent to them.

Scatter a few pine cones in and around the plants, and you’ll be providing these beneficial bugs with a place to live while keeping them close to your plants.Whether you’re a forager with a basketful or a homeowner who’s got wheelbarrows full, I hope you’ll save some and put a few of these suggestions to use.
