Spray with lacquer. Even untreated, they last a couple years!

How To Preserve Pine Cones

Soak cones in warm water with 1/2 cup vinegar added for 1/2 hour. Allow to air-dry. Lay on newspaper and spray with varnish -- - allow each coat to dry thoroughly before re-spraying.

Dry brown pine cones last forever without any special treatment. My mom has had a collection of cones in a bowl for many years. I don't think you can preserve green cones.
