Idea 23: Fill a Dough Bowl with Pinecones and Fairy Lights

A wooden dough bowl (or any low, wide bowl) filled with pinecones is peak fall — and weaving a strand of battery fairy lights through the pinecones takes it from nice to stunning after dark. Gather pinecones on a walk for free, or buy a bag at the craft store for $5. Nestle the light strand deep so only the glow peeks through. Set the bowl on the coffee table, dining table, or entry console. It’s the kind of centerpiece that works from September straight through Thanksgiving without changing a thing.
