I love how the Magnolia garland turned out! It took about six hours but it was alot of fun and worth it! I also decorated the outdoor light by the front door.
Here's the amazing pile of magnolia I had to work with...
I cut small clusters off the branches....
... used green floral wire and a multi-purpose cutting tool that cut the branches and the wire...
Placed large branches together to make 20 feet of garland, secured them together with wire, added extra clusters to fill it in,
and placed holly leaves & berries in for color...
I found some inexpensive bows at the craft store for around 60 cents to top it off...
Such a fun gift to give my brother and sister-in-law to decorate their new home! Click here to see my inspiration. Merry Christmas!
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeletePRETTY! I miss the south!
ReplyDeleteI used to go out and pull magnolia's off my trees and spray paint them gold to decorate all around my house at Christmas!
No magnolia trees where I live now....but lotsa snow in Indiana! Never had that in Florida!
