How to Dry Out Pine Cones

One of the things you have to do when picking out pinecones to use in this craft is finding the ones that are dried out. That means you want the ones where the cone is opened up already and the seeds have fallen out.

You’ll also want to make sure there are no bugs or insects in them. Of course, this really only applies to the ones you gather yourself out of the yard.

To dry out pine cones, you can place them on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and bake at 200ºF for about 30-minutes. This will help them open up and makes it easy to shake out any seeds or debris inside. Let them cool completely before you start using for crafts.

You can add these cute little pine cone owls next to homemade sock snowmen on your mantle for an adorable winter look. It also looks adorable next to this winter snowman candle.
