We see shops filled with decorative twigs, and festive twig, and wood bundles, coloured red, and sprayed in snow, and they have a heafty price tag on them too.
Why not look around your garden, and see what you can find. Dog wood looks lovely, with its red stems, and Snow Berry, looks nice put with it.
Lots of plants have attractive seed heads, and can be easily sprayed with silver, gold, or red spray too.
Ivy can be gathered, and added to a wire coat hanger, made in to a circle, and berries added, you don't have to be really arty, to do this either, if you use Ivy, you can just wind it around your wire circle.
Evergreens look nice laid on a mantle shelf too, or draped over pictures. Holly looks stunning, if it has berries on it, or put in a clear glass vase with red baubles in the vase to add a red hint.
Have a look, see what you can find, and have a go. You can post your efforts too, as we'd love to see them.
