Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Epsom salt
- 1/2 cup water
- Pinecones
- Newspaper or drop cloth
- Bowl
- Spoon
- Wire or twine for hanging (optional)
Instructions
- Spread newspaper or a drop cloth on your work surface.
- In a bowl, mix the Epsom salt and water until the salt is mostly dissolved, creating a slushy mixture.
- Dip each pinecone into the Epsom salt mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- Lift the pinecone and allow excess mixture to drip back into the bowl.

- Allow pinecones to dry completely, which may take 24-48 hours depending on humidity.
- Once dry, you can attach wire or twine for hanging if desired.

- Ensure pinecones are clean and dry before starting.
