We all run out of time around the Holiday Season. Here is a tip on how to make a quick last minute Holiday centerpiece. Collect cuttings from evergreen shrubs/trees around the yard or use trimmings from your tree. For best results use a mixture of textures; Pine, Concolor Fir, Holly are shown. Cut them into 3-5″ lengths. Find your favorite vase, jar or bowl. To add a touch of nostalgic holiday spirit, use a family heirloom as a non-traditional vase. I used pewter goblet from my husband’s grandfather’s set. Soak a small cube of floral foam and start filling the vase! Keep filling until your case is overflowing. To add a pop of color, grab some berries or ribbon and place around the arrangement. I borrowed some berries from a holiday garland I already had. If your using ribbon, create a loop of ribbon and secure it to a toothpick for easy assembly into the arrangement.
Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for a Wonderful New Year! See you in the Spring!
