A fall craft hack to make a bug-free pine cone wreath

Some pine cones are just crawling with bugs and they may not have time to escape by the time you get them inside to start getting crafty.

Making a pine cone wreath is a fall activity that feels kind of like an Easter egg hunt. In this version, the eggs are pine cones and the bunny is Mother Nature.

However, as you remove the cones from their natural setting, you may bring along a few stragglers in the form of bugs. After dumping the pine cones, there are bugs everywhere on the table.
