How To Make Pine Cone Flowers

[@pamalicious8526]

Great how to. Thanks. I did this with my dementia client as a hands on easy creative activity. We picked the cones up on our daily walk. Then I baked them and cut them and had her paint them colors her choice and she laid them out in the bouquet design she wanted and I got glued them on. Her family and visitors just love it. It hangs on her living room wall. She reminds me every day that she made that. This is a wonderful craft.

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

This makes me so happy! Thank you! ❤

[@leeann9775]

That’s amazing! Love what affect it had on your client!🧡. I wanted to ask, what does baking the pine cones do???

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

@@leeann9775 If your pinecones come from outdoors baking them kills any bugs that may be inside them. I always bring mine straight from outside to the oven.

[@leeann9775]

@@BeCraftyWithMegan definitely like that idea! What temp!

[@chrissieshane4830]

Love this craft. My Aunt lives in a piney area so we like to do crafts with her pinecones. This will be our Sunday after church craft corner soon hopefully.

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

The little pine cone reminds me of cosmos. Great idea. Thank you!

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

Thank you! 😊

[@lisasala9467]

Researching before I try my hand at pinecone flowers. I’ve watched a lot of videos and keep coming back to your videos. Very well explained and your cutting and shaping technique makes sense. Thanks for sharing your artistic talents. Wish me luck!

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

Thank you so much! It makes me happy you enjoy my video and find it helpful.

[@lesliebean4594]

I enjoy your videos. So, don't put too much thought into it. If people don't want to listen, they don't have to. Pine cone flowers are such a great idea! And they turned out beautifully 😊 *Also, I think these would be absolutely beautiful in wreaths! Natural or painted.

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

I love this! Thanks for the encouragement! I'm actually working on a pine cone wreath idea today 😊❤

[@lesliebean4594]

[@kaygangiah5716]

Great videos!! How do u get the pinecone to open up that much

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

Thank you!!! I bake my them for 30 minutes at 275 fahrenheit. I think that's what helps them open up so well.

[@debbiewelch9273]

Have you ever tried using a power saw of some kind to cut the pinecones? Maybe my pruning shears aren't sharp enough, but it's killing me to cut these by hand, and I need to do a lot for a group project

[@debbiemaestas6837]

Talk all you want!!😊

[@deby7821]

[@sharionfawcett9651]

[@melodiejanin8271]

[@butchsmith57]

How do you cut the long skinny cones

[@webnestor]

You mention you bake the cones at 200 - is this 200 degrees celcius or 200 degrees Farenheit? If it is Farenheit, it would only be about 90 degrees celcius. A big difference :)

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

It's 200 Fahrenheit. 😊

[@pineconesbynargiz2038]

So nice 😍

[@dianacapo7653]

Am your new susbscriber n will share.

[@nancywalker7302]

How do you deal with pine pitch?

[@Pinkvictors]

Pine pitch? Never heard of that…can u explain

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

The pine cones I use don't have any pine pitch on them. I had to look up what it was. 😊

[@mirabelle8425]

❤❤❤❤

[@beauty4ucreations]

What kind of paint you use? I tried with acryl but my pine cone drink the paint very much... i don;t know what to do with...? And te color is also not this... just darker..

[@tracynasr44]

is it better to put them in the oven before? why is that?

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

The pine cones I used I picked up outside at the park and they have bugs in them. If you put them in the oven on a low temperature it kills all bugs and they fall out. If you aren't using pine cones from outside you don't have to worry about baking them. I cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake them for at least 30 minutes at 250.

[@Pinkvictors]

@@BeCraftyWithMeganI read on google how to prepare pine cones for crafts…they said soak them in vinegar water to kill the bug….then bake! Well I think I’ll skip the vinegar water now after watching ur video…it stunk the house up “I hate the smell of vinegar” and it took them longer to bake to dry n get them to open up!

[@patreciaupton597]

I am a new recruit..just got the idea today and wondering where to look for guidance...you don't talk too much

[@BeCraftyWithMegan]

You're so sweet! Thank you! 😊❤
