I've been making scented pine cones for our home for a few years now, but it just recently occurred to me that they would make great gifts, too. Making them yourself is very budget-friendly, as well. And who doesn't love a nice, gentle holiday scent in their home for the season? See how to make your own scented pine cones below.

Around late September or early October, I walk into our local HEB grocery store and am greeted by the most intoxicating smell ever. It signals to me that they've put out their cinnamon brooms for the season. And they're absolutely heavenly. A few years ago, they added scented pine cones, too, which are just as dreamy. But, I would only allow myself either a broom or one set of the pine cones since they were a bit costly for something that would eventually run out of scent and need to be discarded or revamped in some way. However, through some trial and error (and mixing and remixing) and researching how other people do this, I figured out my own way to make scented pine cones at home (my own personal touch involves witch hazel!). I now just stick to this instead of purchasing them every year. See my complete tutorial, below. Oh, and it's Thrifty Style Team day, so I've got lots of thrifty Christmasy fun for you from my friends, as well.
