Place the pine cones on a cookie sheet. Bake them in a 200 F oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until they are dry and open. Allow the pine cones to cool and continue to dry overnight.

Mix 1 part flour and 3 parts water in a saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then remove it from the heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens into a paste. Allow the paste to cool.
