This was so simple and cheap! All you need is pine cones, fragrance oil and a Ziploc bag.
I chose to use Amber Vanilla for a warm cozy smell.
Fill a Ziplock bag with your pine cones then pour in 1/8-1/4 of the oil into the bag. Seal and shake till it looks like the pine cones are well coated!
I left my pine cones in the sealed bag for one week. I'm not sure if this was necessary or not, but I wanted to give the pine cones a chance to absorb the oil.
I love how the pine cones look and smell in our fireplace!
So does the smell permeate through the whole house?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately not really...just in the room they're in. I suppose you could put a few in every room then the whole house would smell! ;)
Deletei love that idea, since i use pinecones from fall and thru winter.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Love pine cones...I've never taken them from outdoors though, have you? I'm afraid they will have bugs!!
