Bowl Warmer
Keep your fingers cool and your dish hot with a sweater scrap: Pull a sleeve over a bowl, lining up the finished cuff with the top rim, and hot-glue. Next, trim the wool so it reaches the bowl's bottom edge and hot-glue in place.

Crabapple Arrangement
The best thing about this sort of display? There's absolutely no arranging involved. Liza Lubell of Brooklyn's Peartree Flowers simply stripped the leaves from each limb before putting it in a vase. "This treatment highlights the prettiest feature of the plant—its fruit," she explains. Group several different-size vases for even greater visual payoff.

Harvest Sign
Blogger Lindsay Eidahl used barn wood, cream-colored canvas, gold thumbtacks, raffia, and a chevron ribbon to create this adorable sign for her fence.

Tree-Branch Coasters
To make these rustic drink perches, you'll need a tree limb that's roughly three inches in diameter. Saw the branch into slices about 3/4-inch thick—or have a hardware store do it for you—and lightly sand each wood disk. Create the leaf motifs shown by pressing an inked stamp onto each coaster. Let dry for five minutes, then coat the stamped side with a protective matte finishing spray. Allow 15 minutes of drying time before using.
