    Community Answer
    To scent pine cones, you can put a few drops of essential oil on them. Alternatively, you can also prepare a soak for the pine cone by adding 5-7 drops of essential oil into a bowl of warm water and submerging the pine cone in it for 10 minutes, then leaving it to air-dry on a paper towel.

    Yes - I once sprayed mine metallic silver, and they turned out really pretty! Just use regular all-surface spray paint or wood spray paint.
