I made these large arrangements (the vase is 3 feet high) from the big branches my neighbor's trimmed from their tree. In the bottom of the vase are water pearls which will help to keep the evergreens from drying out. This should last all winter!
These little ones are made from all the scraps left over. I have them on all the doors in the kitchen.
And this was the arrangement that took up most of the morning. Three different kinds of
greens, painted pinecones, silver ornaments , two kinds of ribbon and a dusting of glitter!
I wish I could take better photos! I just keep practicing!
I will be getting large pillar candles to put behind this arrangement on the candle stand. You really can't see it in this photo, but it will show up better with the larger flowers.
I hope to put the end result on my web page (large candles and all). Have a peek there later on and see what it looks like when it is all done!
Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoyed what can be done with bucket of greenery and a free morning!
