Holy Table Arrangement
is something special that you can craft this Christmas. It is simple to
make, even simpler for those who have gardening as a hobby. Just make
sure you have all the items of the following list, and your creation will
be ready in less than an hour. The following is what you will need:
A
dry florist's foam sphere (styro foam)
Stick
transparent tape (cello tape)
Small
block of dry florist's foam
container
gravel
florist's
wire
a length of garden cane (bamboo
stake)
Holly
sprigs
Artificial
florist's pine sprigs
Ivy
leaves
Real
or artificial poinsettias
Narrow
satin ribbons
Wide
decorative ribbon for container
Insert one end of the
length of the garden cane (bamboo stake) into the foam sphere.
Tape the free end of the
garden cane with the end of a piece of florist's ribbon. Wrap the
ribbon around the entire length so that the stick is fully covered.
Secure with a piece of tape at the base.
Insert the end of the
garden cane into a piece of dry foam (styro foam) pierced in a
decorative container. Fill with gravel so that the foam is well
covered.
Make a loop at one end of
a length of florist's wire and individual holly
sprigs. Also wire artificial florist's pine sprigs.
Push the wired stems into
the foam to cover it evenly. Add wired individual Ivy leaves to fill
any gaps. It is important that you take care to see that there is no
gaps, else it would spoil the whole endeavor.
Now insert the poinsettias
into the gravel to disguise them. Tie a wide ribbon around the
container. If you want, you can also add some ribbon bows to make
the arrangement even more attractive.
Now your Holly Table
Arrangement is ready to be wooed by everyone. Make sure that it is
properly attended to, and out of reach of very small children. Do not keep
it near any source of heat or flame. Merry Christmas!
