Scented Pine Cones
I love filling the air with fall scents around the house.
Earlier this week, I purchased a bunch of home fragrance oils from Bath and Body Works to use in my oil warmer. I was so anxious to try them all that I started thinking of other ways to use them to scent the house.
As I was walking around with the dogs today, I noticed a bunch of pine cones on the ground and suddenly, the light bulb inside my head went off and I thought...scented pine cones!
After cleaning them off a bit, I placed a few drops of oil on each cone and set them in my tobacco basket along with a few mini pumpkins for a sweet-smelling fall display.
What are your favorite tips for making your house smell all warm and cozy?
Super great idea Brandi!

What a neat idea, Brandi! I will have to try this one!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, I love scented oils also....I'm hooked on a brand that I purchase from Michael's. I'll have to check out Bath and Body works.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Idea! I need to find some pine cones and oils! I love your blog so much~! The family photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love scented oils too! I also like to combine orange peels with a cinnamon stick and fresh rosemary with water and simmer on the stove it smells so divine.
ReplyDeleteoh FUN! and cheaper than the ones you have to buy I bet!
ReplyDeleteI love to simmer stuff on the stuff.

Great idea, and not nearly as expensive as buying them pre-scented. PLUS you get the scents YOU want instead of having to just buy whatever is available! I like to simmer spices on the stove for scent sometimes. It keeps the house warm with the stove on AND provides a wonderful smell. I also like to make potpourri using fresh whole spices. I think I'll mix in some pine cones now! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is so easy and very pretty, too! Love this idea. xx
ReplyDeleteVery creative! Thanks for a great idea. <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I love this! Definitely going to try it out - thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I have some pinecones just waiting for a project like that. And of course I love the look of the pinecones and gourds in a pretty basket. What scents our upstairs are my homemade soaps curing. But I'm going to use some of my essential oils to scent pinecones as well! Thanks for the idea. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple solution to refreshing the home. We have lots of pine cones around here.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment on my blog,
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate it!
Great idea! A lot cheaper than purchasing them. I like to simmer fruit & spices in my mini crockpot (the one only used for this!). That way I can move it around the house if I want.

What a lovely idea, Brandi! I've purchased pine cones at Christmastime that were cinnamon scented, but fall is a perfect time to decorate with the lovely cones as well. I like how they look paired with your mini-pumpkins in the pretty basket.
