Oops! I hadn't seen them all. I love the pine cones with the different colors for fall. So pretty.
I did some pine cones for Christmas one year. Dipped them in colored parafin (sp?). I made a lot with just the parafin to start fires with, but found out thru the local fire department that it was unwise to do this. They said the pinecones would leave a coating in the chimney that could start a fire. So I just decorated the basket and made a Christmas decoration.
Thank you for your compliments. I just had so much fun painting those pinecones. I have several plastic buckets of pinecones I saved off my trees. I want to decorate with them. I'm going to get some really small pinecones from my Aunts off of her pinetrees. I want to go out back and get some from the bull pines too! the ones I have are from hemlocks. They are a long pinecone.
I better get my tush and feed my furballs.
