If you like to use pine cones for your crafts and fall and winter decorating, see how to bleach pine cones for crafts. The bleach will kill any bugs or bug eggs that may be in the pine cones and your pine cones will turn a sort of light tan color which you can leave if you like that color but you could also paint them or just gild the edges with gold or silver paint.
