(December 5, 2023) — Looking for new and economical ways to decorate for the holidays?
If you enjoy using natural “found items,” try this!
Soak pinecones in four liters (approximately one gallon) of water mixed with one ounce of red food coloring. Let the cones sit out overnight, then dry on a paper towel.
The lovely cones can be used in wreaths, as Christmas tree ornaments, or in a centerpiece for a dining table.
