hese Pinecones are collected responsibly; off the ground only-never off the tree! I clean and hand dip them in wax myself. The Pine cones can be adorned with bows and flowers for ornamental purposes, or they can be left plain for fragrance purposes. These decorations can be a festive part of any display; for any occasion. They can also be on display for your own pleasure. These make very unique, beautiful gifts for those on your list that would appreciate a hand made, natural item. These decorations are made form natural items and may very from the picture depending on the availability of wax, fragrance, flowers, and ribbon. I love custom work; if you see something here that catches your eye, but would like a different color, fragrance, or ornamentation; please contact me; I am happy to make these decorations according to your preference. I will stay in constant contact with you during the making of YOUR decoration; I will send lots of pictures to be sure that you have exactly what you want. I pride myself in meeting and exceeding your expectations.
