Here is a simple and inexpensive way to make natural cinnamon scented pine cones for the fall and winter seasons. There are two natural ways to add scents for pine cones, with eatable cinnamon spice or cinnamon essential oil.

After collecting pine cones from your yard or a park, rinse them well to remove any insects and for extra precaution place them in the oven on a cookie sheet at 200 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Once the pine cones have cooled from the oven, brush on the cinnamon essential oil with a small paint or foam. Place the pine cones in a zip lock bag for up to one week.

If you’ve chosen to use cinnamon spice instead, brush on a thin layer of craft glue to each pine cone then, sprinkle on the cinnamon spice. Allow the cones to dry completely before decorating with them.

Enjoy your naturally scented and homemade seasonal home decor!
