crystal christmas tree + centerpiece
The Christmas silk flower is a beautiful way to boost the creative look of your home during the holiday season. In your normal Christmas arrangement, you will find green, red, and white poinsettias, green Christmas cactus and holly, and red berries to offset the green leaves. These effects can be obtained through silk flowers just as easily, and with many additional benefits.
Unlike traditional arrangements, your silk flowers will last longer and be far more economical, while still being beautiful. They are also very easy to do and can be done much before the season begins. You’ll need pliers and wire cutters to manipulate the wires of your Christmas silk flower arrangement, along with a storage container, floral adhesive, flora tape, foam, and tape.
Your container for your Christmas silk flower will need to be neither too wide nor too narrow and should be lightweight. Make a large silk floral arrangement in an urn-shaped container. Next, choose flowers of different textures to give a sense of variety to the arrangement. Before you buy silk poinsettias, holly or red berries, look at their edges.
Pick edges that look fresh and natural over ones that look frayed or damaged.
Next, begin arranging your flowers. Open each flower in a manner that reveals its actual shape. Stick the stems of the flowers into the foam. Many people simply add a bit of floral wire to the end of each stem to give it a longer appearance. You should vary the size of your Christmas silk flower stems to have the prettiest arrangement. This will lend a good shape to your arrangement and add to the beauty of the arrangement.
