What are pine apples?
Pine apples are not fruits, but the cones of pine trees. These trees are called pine trees or pine trees in some regions because of their very sticky resin. Their wood used to be cut into pine chips, which were used to light firewood.

Handicraft instructions
- Thoroughly clean the tenons. If necessary, let it dry a little.
- Protect an outdoor work area with masking material.
- Remove the safety cap from the spray cans and shake them well.
- Put on gloves.
- Lay out the cones on the base and spray them all at once. This results in a beautiful vintage look.
- Alternatively, you can apply the paint to cover it by spraying each pin individually from all sides.
- Let the paint dry well.
- If desired, divide the wreath into four parts with a ribbon and tie a decorative bow.
- Attach the peg with the hot glue gun. Don't skimp on glue so that the pine cones hold securely.

Tips
Preferably use LED real wax candles without an open flame. Since the pine cones ignite easily, you should never leave this Advent wreath burning unattended if you choose traditional lights.
