A Christmas garland.
From the Lesson Workbook
A Christmas Garland
You need quite a large space to make a garland. I advise adding the hydrangeas at the last minute as they are very delicate.
Garlands are made in the same manner regardless of where they are used.
Garlands that will be hung must be much stronger. The ruscus and grevillea can be added at the last minute. You want your bunches to be the same size to avoid a lumpy appearance. If the garland is crooked, fill in the gaps with extra foliage or hydrangeas.
For the Garland I Use:
- Ivy
- Eucalyptus Parvifolia
- Ruscus
- Grevillea
- Gold Asparagus Fern
- Gold gypsophila
- Hydrangeas
