Christmas Centerpiece

The greenery and blue berries of fresh juniper adds beauty and fragrance to my holiday dining table. The arrangement is decorated with a few traditional ornaments: birds, apples, wooden soldier and delivery truck, as well as a few wrapped boxes. I reused a rectangular 12 inch basket as the container, lined it with waterproof plastic, and an inserted the juniper branches into an old floral-foam block for easy watering.

Christmas Wreath

Simple traditional holiday charm: evergreens mounted on a ring using green wire; a red velvet bow, a few pine cones (some facing up, some facing down for different textures), a chestnut on 2 dry brown leaves, a few small red fruits (glued at their stems into a cluster - the only glue on this wreath), all held in place with green wire.
