Add Floral Wire

Unfurl a spool of floral wire, cutting a 6-inch strand using wire snips. Next, wrap the wire around the stem of the pinecone in a loop. This will act as a conduit for attaching the pinecone to the garland towards the end of the project.

Coat With Spray Adhesive

Lay pinecone on a flat, level surface, then lightly coat with spray adhesive. To do this evenly, hold the can at least 4 inches from the surface, then move back and forth using controlled spurts.
