Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes

Materials

  • Pine Cones in varying sizes
  • 1 Gallon size sealable bag
  • Young Living Orange Cinnamon, and Stress Away Oils (or you can substitute with other essential oils. These are a good alternative)
  • Foil
  • Large cookie sheet

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 200℉.
  • Line a large cookie sheet with foil.
  • Spread the pinecones evenly across the foil and bake in the ovenfor 40 minutes. Little bugs and critters can be hiding in the pine cones, so baking them is a good way to keep the critters from spreading in your house.
  • Remove and let cool completely.
  • Once the pine cones are cooled, place them in a large gallon size sealable bag.
  • Add your essential oils to the pine cones. I used 10 drops of orange, 8 drops of cinnamon, and 6 drops of stress away. You can try different combinations until you get the desired scent you like.
  • Seal the bag, and shake the pine cones around so that they absorb the oils.
  • Remove excess air from the bag, and seal tightly.
  • Place the bag in a cool dark place to set for one week. This will allow the oils to fully absorb into the pine cones, and provide you with the strongest lasting scent.
  • Once they have set for a week, remove and place in a bowl for display.
