On a recent lunch break, a coworker and I took our totes and filled them with fallen pinecones to use in autumn-themed projects.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Initially I planned to paint the pinecones and then fill a bowl with them for fall décor, but I wanted to make them more functional, so instead opted to use them as place card holders. It's best to pick pinecones that have a flat bottom and are a little wider so that they stand up more easily.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e You can choose any color to paint your pinecones with, but I was set on a terracotta hue to match the table runner I used. If you don’t have the right color of terracotta paint on hand, try mixing some \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/?route=product\/search\u0026amp;filter_name=5HSP\"\u003eorange and brown acrylic paints\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Using a paintbrush, lightly paint the ends of the pinecone scales and then allow them all to dry. While the pinecones are drying, you can start making your guests' name tags. Simply stamp their names onto \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/?route=product\/search\u0026amp;filter_name=Wrapping\"\u003ekraft paper\u003c\/a\u003e using the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/A-B-Seas-Alphabet-Stamps-Kit\"\u003eABSeas stamp set\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/?route=product\/search\u0026amp;filter_name=stazon\"\u003eblack ink\u003c\/a\u003e, and then cut them into individual name tags. Now you're ready to tie the final look together. Find a crevice in each pinecone to insert your name tags. You can also matte the name tags onto a piece of cardboard for a sturdier look. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Place your harvest-themed place cards around your table this fall for a warm, festive touch.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ctable style=\"border: thin dotted #990000; width: 575px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\" align=\"center\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd colspan=\"4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #98996d; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: xx-small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will also\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #990000; font-size: 18px;\"\u003e?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ethese publications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/WHERE-WOMEN-COOK-Spring-2011\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/data\/issueImages\/1WWK-1102-Where-Women-Cook-Spring-2011.jpg\" alt=\"Where Women Cook Spring 2011\" height=\"130\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/Mingle-Autumn-2013\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/data\/issueImages\/1MIN-1303-Mingle-Autumn-2013-Pre-Order.jpg\" alt=\"Mingle Autumn 2013\" height=\"130\" border=\"0\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/Somerset-Holidays-and-Celebrations-2013-Volume-7\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/data\/issueImages\/1SOM-HOL13-Somerset-Holidays-Celebrations-2013-Volume-7.jpg\" alt=\"Somerset Holidays and Celebrations 2013 Volume 7\" height=\"130\" border=\"0\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd align=\"center\" width=\"25%\"\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/Somerset-Life-Autumn-2013\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-87od2q0wh1\/image\/data\/issueImages\/1LIF-1304-Somerset-Life-Autumn-2013-Pre-Order.jpg\" alt=\"Somerset Life Autumn 2013\" height=\"130\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Free Projects","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452515377303,"sku":"PROJ-0796","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/5546\/3319\/files\/PROJ-0796__47127.1558400548.1280.1280.jpg?v=1746792875","url":"https:\/\/stampington.live\/products\/free-how-to-project-harvest-affaire-pinecone-place-cards-project","provider":"Stampington \u0026 Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
