[substeps] Store the pine cones in an airtight container for one year and remove them at christmas time. Paint the cones white, then arrange them on a double shelf and let them thaw overnight in an airtight container for up to three months. Next, take white spray paint (such as frost white) and spray one side of the pine cones. Let the paint dry for a few minutes, then turn the cones over and spray the other side. Leave them out all day so that the rest of the winter is more quiet. [substeps] Use a skewer for every move that goes wrong. Place the cones (and the paper) in the freezer for up to 2 days. Be sure to use a clear cover to prevent the cones from cracking.
