My life as usual has been extremely busy lately. I had decided that I need some side project arts and crafts time, and had found an idea of making garland with those cinnamon scented pine cones. I switched some things up with my garland and think it turned out pretty nice. He's the skinny on how to do it.
I went to Lowes and bought some scented pine cones, screw eyelet hook things, and a can of brown spray paint. At this point in the project I wasn't sure what I was going to attach my pine cones to to make the garland. The tutorial I had originally seen hooked the pine cones onto a ribbon, by punching holes in the ribbon.
Being my mother's daughter I knew I had a huge collection of ribbon at home and if I decided to go that route I was set.
Next step in the project I took all of the screw eyelet things out of their bags and spray painted them brown. Just a tip to keep in mind spray paint and cold weather do not work together. I cleared some space in my garage and spray painted in there with the help of a little space heater blowing on my workspace.
Once your screws are dry you need to screw them into the tops of your pine cones. By this point in the project it was several days later and I had found a premade jingle bell garland I decided to embellish with my pine cones. To make sure that my pine cones were going to stay on the garland I left a small opening big enough to slide the garland's wire into and then closed the gap with another twist of the screw into the pine cone.
I think the garland turned out pretty nice. And there is a faint smell of cinnamon in the air.
