I learned the coolest trick at our church's Apples of Gold program. Did you know you can take pine cones that are covered in sticky sap and bake them?!?! I know life changing, right?!
Well, almost.
Well, almost.
You bake them at 250 degrees on a baking sheet covered in foil- very important or that sap will get on your baking sheet. A half hour later or so, they are shiny and done. The sap crystallizes and turns hard and looks like the tips of the pine cones have little glass drops on them. So cool.
Hey it's the little things, right?
In all their sappy goodness:
So pretty! Just waiting for the perfect craft to come along...
By the way- when you bake them your house will smell very piney. You've been warned.
