Let's scent the pine cones for your cinnamon & spice Christmas table centerpiece. Using a Q-Tip or small paint brush, dab glue on the inside edges of the pine cones. Sprinkle cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg over the glue, and shake off the excess spices. Set aside to let the glue dry completely.

Fill the basket about halfway with the scented pine cones. Insert small branches of pine around the outside edge of the basket, so the branches are visible above the edges. Finish filling the basket with the scented pine cones. Set pine branches in between the pine cones with small branches of greenery to fill out your Christmas table centerpiece.

Insert sprigs of large and small berries around the outside and inside of the basket against the pine branches. Tie a bow around the middle of the handle. If the basket has no handle, make two bows and glue one on each side of the basket. You can also use a bit of thin wire slipped into the middle of the bow in back and wire it to the basket.
