Making pine cone crafts
The first step is to clean the pine cones (can use a blow dryer). Then for wiring, cut out a wire according to the size of the pinecone. String the wire through the scales so that it gets wrapped up around the center. Entwine the wire and also leave it a few inches for barbing the Styrofoam in it. Remember a wooden stick at the back of the cone in case you are using a large cone. Now drape the wire around the stick and pierce the Styrofoam with the stick. Having done these it's the time to place all the pine cones on the Styrofoam.
