Equipment
- Knife
Ingredients
- Wreath form
- Pine cones
- Acrylic paint white
- Ribbon(s) Red
Instructions
- Soak your pinecones in a sink of hot water with 1 cup vinegar. Then bake them at your oven's lowest setting for 1 - 1.5 hours. This will get rid of bugs, get rid of the sticky sap, and dry them out. Plus, it will make your house smell OUTRAGEOUSLY good.
- If the wreath form isn't flat, use a knife to trim the front and make it flat and smooth. Paint the wreath form with the same paint color as your pinecones and let dry.
- While the wreath form is drying, paint the pine cones. More bristles helps you get into the tight areas.
- Once the pine cones are dry, hot glue them to the form. Keep them tight for good coverage.
- Hang your pinecone wreaths using the red ribbon (cut lengths with scissors).
