Christmas arrangement with snowy flowers

Easy and quick to do Christmas snowy icy bouquet with silk flowers to recycle

The idea for this Christmas decoration came to me while I was exploring fairs and exhibitions dedicated to Christmas in the last few weeks. I liked at once all flowers with ice or snow effect but their prices ... Better to forget them, I said. But on second thought I found the best solution. I had in the living room a bunch of silk roses that sooner or later I would have to renew. So why not use them to create a new arrangement? here it is! what do you think about it?
