You could even take this to another level and add those clear ornaments in the basket. Add a bit of snow on the inside of the plastic clear ornaments. Toss them in to the basket with the pine cones and the ribbon. The lights that you add to the basket will really reflect off of those non-glass Christmas ornaments and SHINE!

This is very pretty. Such a simple and quick project, and perfect for decorating during the holidays or for anyone who loves nature crafts year-round. They would make lovely centerpieces for a winter wedding as well! Using battery operated strands of led lights or led tea light candles would eliminate cords, allowing them to be placed just about anywhere.
