Color and Texture Unify a Design.
Use color and texture to create unity in a large design with multiple components.

Potpourri

Enhance an Ornament
Quickly enhance an ornament by using a bow as the base and glue bits and pieces into it.
Repeat a Simple Design
Repeating a simple design is aan easy way to make a large centerpiece.
Sleigh Designs are Easy
Sleighs are easy to design in because it takes just a few premade evergreen picks and cones to fill them - no foam, just bend the stems to fit and place them in the sleigh
Pre-made Wreaths
Premade wreaths are easy to add your own style to with a bit of ribbon and beaded wire.
Berry Orb
Glue ribbon around the edge of a pot, then fill with foam, pin a candle ring on top and use a pick to attach a berry orb.
Door Swag
Premade door swag with ribbon and two evergreen picks added.
Add Santa to the Sleigh
Fill the sleigh with two picks, a stem of berries and five cones.
Display Specialty Ornaments
Make a wall decoration with two candle rings used to make frames for specialty ornaments.
Felt Jingle Bell Ribbon
Felt jingle bell ribbon and pomegranate picks are used to enhance this premade wreath.
Battery Operated Candles
Combine floral materials with battery operated candles for a beautiful, safe enhancement of lanterns.
Grapevine Wreath
Grapevine is easy to enhance with premade picks because the stems can easily be woven into the vine.
Candle Ring
A candle ring tied to a candle holder creates a mini wreath decoration.
A flock of birds and mini glass ornaments is all this beautiful little tree needed. Add glitter to the container to coordinate the look.
Variety is the Goal
Changing the accessory changes the meaning of the vignette.
