How Do I Make My Pine Cones Smell Like Cinnamon?

So how do you add scent to pine cones? It’s actually so easy! To naturally scent your pine cones, you’ll just use several drops of Cinnamon {Cassia} Essential oils to get the job done.

Supplies Needed:

• Pine Cones
• Cookie Sheet
• Aluminum Foil
• Gallon Ziploc Bag
• Cinnamon {Cassia} Essential Oil

How to Make Cinnamon Pine Cones:

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
2. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil, place pine cones on foil, and bake for 30 minutes. {this will help clean up the pine cones and take care of any little bugs that might have been hiding inside} So long buggies!
3. Remove tray from oven, and allow pine cones to cool completely.
4. Once they have cooled down, transfer pine cones to large ziploc bag, and add 25 drops of Cassia essential oil to the bag.
5. Zip up, give it a good shake and toss, to evenly coat the pine cones, and set it aside for at least 5 days.
6. After 5+ days, remove pine cones from bag, place in a basket or around the house, and enjoy their lovely scent!

How Long Do Cinnamon Scented Pine Cones Last?

Your scented pine cones should last for several weeks, however, the scent will gradually fade. You can easily revive them, even weekly if you’d like, for the strongest scent.

How to Revive Cinnamon Scented Pine Cones:

Over time as the scent starts to fade, just place them back in the bag, add more essential oil, and pull them out again after 1 week. Or, you can have two sets of pine cones going at all times… one scented version out on display, and another being scented up in a ziploc bag to swap out once the scent fades on the other set.
