These bags are pretty cheap and you can always buy them in advance so you have them in case you need them. If it is in the Fall or Winter, you can fill them with leaves. If not, just grab a bunch of old clothes and fill the bags. You can buy the orange pumpkin trash bags at amazon.com. Check out this link for an inexpensive set, or this site for a larger package. Almost everybody loves seeing these big orange pumpkin bags filled up and they can be used all year long, not just on Halloween or during October.

You just need to add some little extra craft items and your pine cone will soon look like a fun-loving turkey.
