We have two suggestions for preparing scented pinecones.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the pinecones on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
Once cooled, gather the pinecones in a brown paper bag and sprinkle with scented oil. Shake the bag to evenly distribute the oil. Keep the bag closed for about 4 weeks. Give it a shake every week.
The other method involves glue. Once cooled, mix together several kinds of dried spices in a bowl; or use just cinnamon, or just cloves, etc., your preference. Lay the prepared pinecones on newspaper. Apply clear-drying glue to the tips of the pinecones and then sprinkle with the spice(s). Let them dry for 12 hours.
