Is there a way to get sap off of a pine cone?
I went on a walk on the nature trail near my house yeasterday and I found this big pine cone in the middle of the bike trail. I liked it because it smelled like the woods; and I am a big woods person. I picked it up carefully because it was dripped with sap. Is there a way to get the sap off just by using around the house items and not making a mess or getting the sap all over my hands and clothes?
Step1
Hand select your own pine cones, choosing ones with good color, shape, and no rotting spots. Shake pine cones well to remove dirt, grass, and bugs.
Step2
Place pine cones in a basin or sink filled with very warm water and 1 cup of Vinegar. Let soak for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Step3
Rinse pine cones in clean water, wearing rubber or disposable gloves. (Wearing the gloves keeps sap from getting on skin). Make sure all the sap and bugs are removed. Repeat steps 2 and 3 if necessary.
Step4
Place rinsed pine cones on an old newspaper to dry for 3 to 5 days. As the pine cones dry, they will open up.
Step5
When dry, decorate as you wish with paint, glitter, etc. or leave them natural.
