-
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line baking sheet with foil.
-
On prepared baking sheet, arrange pinecones. Bake 45 to 60 minutes, turning pinecones a few times throughout for even cooking. (This step helps preserve the pinecones, keeps them dry and encourages them to open them up for better presentation.)
-
Meanwhile, in a spray bottle, mix 20 drops oil with ½ cup water. Lightly shake until combined. If using more than one oil, split the 20 drops between them however you prefer.
-
Spray baked pinecones with oil mixture, making sure to turn them as you go for even application.
-
Once completely cooled, place scented pinecones in an air-tight container such as multiple zip-top bags or a large bin. Let sit at least a couple days or up to two weeks for maximum absorption.
-
To display, arrange pinecones in a basket or distribute them around your house.
-
If pinecones lose their scent over time, simply repeat steps 4 and 5.
