Materials
Make it !
Head out to the garden with your pruners and cut some greenery . learn this article onThe Best Garden Greenery for Holiday Decoratingbefore you go , to brush up on what and how to swerve the greenery .
Fit some dry slyness foam into a wood boxful . You do not need wet flower store ’s foam that holds moisture for flower arrangements . The stem do not need water ; the froth is plainly to keep it all in billet . you could also glue the craft foam to the wood box if you would care . I did n’t find it necessary as the arrangement holds in place perfectly once it is finish .
Set the wick candle into the craft froth , equally space aside .
Next , start designing the plantation owner with cascade down , acerate leaf - leaf greenery around the edges ( I used Fraser fir tree trimming from my Christmas tree ) and colorful broad - leaf evergreens and Berry in the kernel ( I used Portuguese laurel and holly ) .

A Note About Candles and Greenery
This wax light plantation owner , if not used with common sense , could be a fire endangerment . Please do not leave the wax light burning unattended near verdure or wood . You could for sure enjoy this planter without perch the wick candles . You could substitute the candles with electric candela , or even candle contained in glass jounce . I only plan to light the candles while sitting at the board where I can closely supervise them . When they burn down , I will shove off them out .
Please use your vernacular sense when using candles . I do n’t think that every project should have to show electric candles for rubber reasons on a blog and we do not take any province for how the projects are used at nursing home . Be smart , my friend , and you’re able to enjoy the warm glow of cd and fresh greenery for Christmas !
