DIY Cinnamon Scented Pinecones
Help your house smell like the holidays and make these quick and easy DIY Cinnamon Scented Pinecones! They are so easy to make with essential oils!
I was walking through the grocery store the other day and they had these brooms and bags of pinecones that smelled of heavenly cinnamon. I am a sucker for those things and always pick them up. Not this year, I decided to make my own Cinnamon Scented Pinecones.
Cinnamon Scented Pinecones
What you Need
- Pinecones
- Cinnamon Essential Oil
- Ziploc Bag
I sent the kids outside to collect some pinecones from the yard. We have a TON of them. If you don’t have pinecones you can pick them up pretty cheap from the craft store. Since my pinecones came from the yard, I popped them in the oven at about 200 degrees for 20 minutes. I just wanted to make sure there were no bugs hitchhiking into the house.
I then put my pinecones into a gallon Ziploc bag and sprinkled them with a few drops of cinnamon essential oil. I zipped the bag shut and gave it a good shake. I actually let the pinecones sit in the bag for a couple hours before opening it. I felt like this gave the pinecones a good chance at absorbing the oils.
Now just put them out in a bowl or decorate with them however you choose. Your house will smell cinnamony and amazing!
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I love these and thank you for sharing how to make them.
Great idea! I have ready access to pinecones . I love the smell of cinnamon!
thank you for the information. I have always wanted to do it myself, and now I can.
I just read your post on making your own cinnamon pine cones. I would like to make some for my son and grandson.they love it.How often do you have to pick the oil on it to keep the scent going
Janet, it really depends on personal preference, but I would say not often. I just opened my fall storage tote from the garage the other day and could immediately smell the pinecones. I did freshen them up with a few more drops of cinnamon, but you could definitely still smell them from last year (Which is amazing). Hope that helps.
