How to Dry Pine Cones
- 1). Heat oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2). Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Place the pine cones in a single layer on the cookie sheet. Leave 1 to 2 inches between each cone so the heat penetrates evenly. Leave the pine cones in the oven for 30 minutes or until they have fully opened.
- 3). Remove the pine cones from the oven. Place the pine cones on newspapers as soon as you remove them from the oven. Allow them to sit for two to three days before using in craft projects.
