To enhance the smell in your home, decorate for the holiday, or give someone a nice gift, make scented buds. Glue the spices to the pine cones using one of two methods, or using essential oils and no glue.
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Glue Spray Method
Step 1. Take ground cloves, cinnamon and other spices, pour everything into a dish and mix thoroughly
Sprinkle the buds with a spice mixture with patchouli, orange, sandalwood, or cinnamon essential oils for a spicier flavor. Mix spices and oils thoroughly
Step 2. Select the required number of pine cones and heat on a baking sheet to open
Step 3. Spread pine cones in one layer on the bottom of a large plastic bag
Step 4. Spray the pine cones with spray glue
Be careful not to inhale the glue. If your house is poorly ventilated, then it is better to do it outside.
Step 5. Close the bag and shake thoroughly until the buds are mixed and spread again in one layer at the bottom of the bag
Step 6. Open the bag and spray the pine cones with the glue again
Step 7. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the pine cones and shake the bag
Step 8. Place pine cones in a container or baking sheet and let dry
Step 9. Place the pine cones in a mesh bag or onion bag, then shake the bag thoroughly to remove excess spices
It is better to take this step outside so as not to litter.
Step 10. Pack the fragrant pine cones in a mesh bag in a plastic bag, then tie it with a nice ribbon
You can put spiced pine cones in the basket. Cover the basket with cellophane and then decorate it with a bow.
Method 2 of 3: The Glue Brush Method
Step 1. Mix equal parts nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon in a plastic bag
Step 2. Place pine cones on newspaper or plastic sheet
Use a brush with glue to spread the glue on the bumps.
Step 3. Place the pine cones with the glue on them in a plastic bag
Shake the bag to coat the ribs with the spices.
Step 4. Place pine cones on a newspaper and let them dry overnight
Present pine cones in a basket or hang them on the tree.
Method 3 of 3: Scenting pine cones without glue
Step 1. Mix Christmas essential oil with water in a spray bottle
You can also add cinnamon or clove oil if you want.
Step 2. Spray pine cones with scented water and seal in a plastic bag
Step 3. Remove the buds after 24 hours
Scented buds are ready to decorate your home or you can give them as a gift.
Alternatively, place pine cones in a plastic bag with a few drops of cinnamon, clove oil, or Christmas essential oil. Seal the pine cones in a bag for 2-7 days, after which time the pine cones will be ready
