Welcoming Christmas tree

You will need

  • A basket (15x30 cm - 6"x12")
  • A bamboo stick, 60 cm (24") long
  • Oasis floral foam sphere, 15-16 cm (6") diameter
  • A foam brick, 7,5x10x23 (3"x4"x9")
  • Artificial pine branches
  • Artificial holly branches
  • Red berry & gypsophilia sprays
  • Orange berry sprays
  • Red velvet poinsettias (artificial flowers)
  • 3m (117") Christmas ribbon
  • Scissors
  • Nippers
  • Double sided tape
  • Artificial moss

This Christmas decoration is easy-to-do and suitable for the hall, near the main door but you can use it to decorate your shop or office too.
Prepare two of them for both sides for the best result.

Insert the foam brick into the basket. Add some refolded paper between the brick and the basket if necessary.
Insert the bamboo stick into the brick and wind the Christmas ribbon around it. Fix the ribbon to the bamboo stick with some little pieces of double sided tape in strategic points.
Insert the foam sphere at the end of the bamboo stick.
Arrange artificial branches in the foam sphere evenly, then poinsettias. At this point insert berry sprays trying to fill the arrangement evenly.
Hide the foam brick with the moss and add some Christmas decorations on the moss (if you want) as you can see in the photo.
Your decoration is ready!

Note
At the end of Christmas time you can modify this decoration. Make a cool winter decoration with our ideas (members-only area)!
