Around the holidays, you might like your house to smell and look festive and natural decorations can help in this aspect. Make a centerpiece for your holiday table with pine cones and blue spruce branches that will keep your house smelling and looking like it's the holidays all season long.
Instructions
1. Gather all the materials needed in this project and place them on a flat surface. Begin by trimming some of the spruce cuttings down to graduated sizes. Leave at least two of them long and graduate the remaining ones so when you place them on top of each other, you can see the ones under the top one.
2. Gather the pine cones and the floral wire. Begin wrapping the wire around the stems of the pine cones in order to form a line of cones about 6 to 8inches wide. The wire will help keep the pine cones in place. Do not cut the wire but begin wrapping the wire around the ends of the small spruce cuttings. Do it in a manner that will surround the pine cones from underneath them.
3. Continue wrapping the wire around the spruce cuttings until you have a diamond shape centerpiece. Cut the wire and wind the end around another piece of nearby wire. Do not leave large amounts of wire between each pine cone and spruce cutting.
4. Place the candles between two or more of the wires so it holds the candles in place, with the tallest one in the center. Your centerpiece is ready for display.
