Thank you for this. My son was walking around the neighborhood and, knowing how much I love rustic and crafting, picked up a bunch of these exact kind of pinecone. Went looking for a way to get the sap off and came across this. Awesome!
I am so glad you found this! It works great:). I did this to a bunch of pinecones for the holidays and then stored them for next season. Yes... A $$$ saver for sure. Thank you for watching :))
I have pinecone trees behind my home. So much fun taking my little one to collect the pine cones and use them for as Christmas decorations. Been doing it for 2 years now after finding this video. Thank you!
Omg! Thank u! I dont see the articles online talking about what happens when sap goes into the oven. Thank u! I did u vinegar and hot water bath and buy, the dirt never stopped rinsing off haha. mine pinecones are tighter and narrower than urs tho. Thx Going to use mines for a garland and a craft party for my besties!
I’m so glad you found this to be helpful. I have no doubt they came out beautiful and your house smelled great in the process :))) Have fun with your projects and thanks for your comment and for watching :))
Great tip, but I had to keep mine in the oven for at least an hour, because there was so much sap on them. So I wouldn’t go by her 30 minutes. Just keep checking yours to make sure the sap has melted off all of them! 🤗
Great question. No, this baking method melts the sap off and hardens the remaining sap so they are no longer sticky. I would try a few first to be sure, but that was my experience. Good luck and thank you for watching!
