7. Pinecone Centerpiece
Pinecones are a fall staple, and Dollar Tree often carries them in the craft section. For this centerpiece, gather a variety of pinecones in different sizes and shapes. If they’re a little dusty, give them a quick rinse and let them dry completely before crafting.
Start with a base—this could be a wooden tray, a shallow bowl, or even a cake stand from Dollar Tree. Arrange the pinecones in the center, mixing in other natural elements like faux leaves, acorns, or small pumpkins. For extra height, place a few pinecones on top of upside-down small bowls or candles (secured with museum putty if needed).
To add a touch of glam, spray some of the pinecones with gold or copper metallic paint before arranging them. This centerpiece is perfect for a dining table, coffee table, or even an entryway console. It takes about 20 minutes to assemble and can be reused year after year.
Materials: Pinecones, tray or bowl, faux leaves, acorns, metallic spray paint (optional).
