To create
this lovely design for your Christmas dinner table start with
a low bowl which can be round, square, or rectangular. I sprayed
this one gold, but you could also use a cream colored (not white)
one or a green one.
Secure 1/2
block of Sahara in the center with 2 strips of tape. Attach
a
thin layer of moss to the Sahara with greening pins (or hairpins).
Set the
horizontal boundaries of the arrangement with the green pine.
Set the
vertical boundary with a rose in the center of the arrangement.
Continue
placing the roses with spacing somewhat dependent on the size
of the rose.
Next place your line material. Everything does not have to be
an equal
distance from each other. Place the pinecones next. Be sure
to have them
smaller than the roses, because it is the roses you want to
feature. Now you
may put in whatever filler you choose, which also should be
smaller in size
than the pinecones. I used berry sprays, berry vine, and gold
glittered
leaves. Last, tie a bow with gold cord and attach with a wire.
Enjoy!
