Our Pinecones are collected from our own yard, right here along the coast of South Carolina. We dry out each pine cone prior to dipping so they are completely free of sap and moisture. We then hand dip them in 100% Pure SOY wax that is strongly scented. These look beautiful arranged in a basket next to the fireplace, front door or any place you want that Fresh Scotch Pine aroma. They can also be used in your fireplace as firestarters. They make wonderful gift ideas. We package twelve cones in a Cello bag and tie with a bow.
