A modern twist on the ubiquitous fruit basket! This makes such a pretty centerpiece for a long table or buffet.

I was lucky enough to be given a bunch of these tiny terra-cotta pots. Find them at the dollar store, $1 for 3 pots!
Supplies List:
- 9 tiny terra-cotta pots (3 for $1 @ Dollar Tree)
- Many tiny pine cones (buy or find go to the park and collect!)
- Dried Spanish moss (can be found at Dollar Tree)
- 3 beautiful pears
- 2 beautiful apples
- Optional: acrylic spray sealer, paint & fine grit sandpaper
My pots already had a bit of weathered charm. If you'd like, paint and sand the pots to achieve your desired look.
Smush a small handful of moss into 4 of the tiny pots.
Lay out the pots in a straight line: pear, moss, apple, moss, pear, etc.

Get out your pine cones.
* If you collected your own, bake them for 20 minutes at 225 degrees. This will kill the critters and mold! Spray with acrylic sealer (optional). *
Lightly push three little pine cones into the top of each mossy pot.
Attractively arrange extra pine cones around the pots.
Happy (fall) crafting!
