Intro
Hello, today I’m going show you how to cut the petals or scales off of a pine cone. You will need a pair of garden Shears like these. I am going to put a link to these below in the description. I spent about 5 bucks on these and with them I have cut many pine cone petals
Process
To get started is you want to work your way from the top skinny part to the fat bottom part. Try to cut close to the core of the pine cone and take a few extra cuts to kind of shave it down as close as you can to the core. Finally you will start to be able to get nice clean cuts. I like to take the hook of the Shears up to the top and have it go up back behind it there just to get a clean cut. Keep the pine cone shaved up close to the core while spinning it around.
Wrap
It takes a few minutes to do one pine cone and then you just have to pick up all your pieces. I Pick up all the big nice pieces first and put them in one jar. Then I pick up all the smaller pieces and put them in another jar. Well that’s it! Thanks for watching and please go check out our website http://pineconecraftsforkids.com
