Are pine cones edible?
While you are picking up pine cones for your craft project, you might be wondering if they are edible. Pine cones are really interesting little things! Did you know that Pine cones belong to a group of plants called gymnosperms and date back to prehistoric times. Pine cones contain a nut, but only about 20 varieties of pine cones are large enough to harvest and be edible. Pine nuts are quite tasty too, so if you are lucky enough to have access to those types of cones, enjoy!

I remember seeing gold painted pine cones for sale in a Gift shop years ago in Bar Harbor Maine; a cluster of tiny ones sold for $3.00 per bunch and that was over 30 years ago.
Thank you for all of these great pine crafts!
This I will be saving. Great niece is 6 and this fall we picked up some pine cones right outside my apartment building. I screwed small eye hooks into the top and painted them all white. Great niece was not impressed with the white paint but when she started using light colors she understood. So we will be picking up more next fall to make some of these
Great idea for a craft!
This would be a fun one! We already have a bunch pine trees on our property and we would have to purchase much to make this. Plus painting is just fun!
I will be saving these. There are 2 big pine trees in front of my apartment building. Last year I had great niece 6 pick up a bag full of pine cones. I screwed small hooks into the top of the pinecones. Then we painted them all white. Next visit Zay painted them all colors and we tied gold ribbons on them. She put them on her
Christmas tree and then gave a couple a way.
Those are great Christmas decoration ideas!
