This little Christmas tree is very nice and it can also be fragrant if you choose perfumed pot pourri. But you should buy sentless pot pourri if you want to use this tree as Christmas centrepiece.
You can place this decoration on a bureau, a chest, a table. You can also use it as centrepiece in holiday season and even all the winter.
Choose all that you need very carefully.
For example prefer stemmed berries differently you'll have to use T-pins or U-shaped pins or pieces of floral wire and this operation isn't always so simple.
Making this tree will try your patience but the result is very nice as you can see in the photo.
Insert the bundles of twigs, red and orange berries, pine cones and some little pieces of pot pourri in the foam cone patchily. Look at the photo for more details.
Place the cone on the epergne and sprinkle around the remaining pot pourri.
Put the gold balls among the pieces of pot pourri. When the holiday season is finished you'll be able to keep them away. But we think it isn't necessary: gold is in fashion in Italy all year and so you can see gold shoes and purses, gold fabrics and even home fabrics used ever day.
