Picture this jar on your coffee table, glowing softly with the colors and scents of the season.

The pinecones rest like little forest treasures, the citrus slices shine like golden ornaments, and the cinnamon whispers warmth with every glance.

It’s a reminder that beauty doesn’t have to be complicated, sometimes it’s about gathering what nature offers and arranging it with care.

This centerpiece feels like a piece of the outdoors brought inside to celebrate the cozy months.

Materials Needed

• 1 clear glass vase or jar (7-9 inches tall)
• 5-6 dried orange slices (2-3 inches wide)
• 3-4 large pinecones
• 2-3 cinnamon sticks (3-4 inches long)
• Fresh or faux evergreen sprigs (small branches, 4-6 inches long)
• Optional: whole cloves, star anise, or ribbon for added detail

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Place a few pinecones at the bottom of your jar to create a base.

Step 2: Tuck in dried orange slices along the sides of the glass so they’re visible from outside.

Step 3: Layer more pinecones and greenery, alternating with oranges until the jar is nearly full.

Step 4: Slide in cinnamon sticks and smaller accents like cloves or star anise for fragrance and texture.

Step 5: Add a final orange slice and a sprig of greenery on top for a polished look.

Step 6: Place your jar on a wooden tray or slice of wood for a rustic display.

Tips:

You can slip a small LED tealight into the jar for a soft glow at night. Just keep it flameless to protect the natural materials.
