Holy
Table Arrangement is something special that you can craft this Christmas. It is pretty
simple to make. Its 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
gardencane (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 and cannot be seen. |
|
| 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! |
