Lush Christmas wreath
A floral foam wreath is fully covered with Abies
nobilis sprigs. Waxed Malus apples provide
color, while gold-sprayed Schinus
molle berries add a festive touch. The wreath
is finished with typical Christmas materials such as
small Christmas baubles, Chamaecyparis fruits and
wooden stars that are glued to the green
branches with cold glue.
Christmas stars
For these atmospheric Christmas stars, the
shapes of Oasis Bioline stars are wrapped
with plastic foil and then with red felt,
dried Moneta leaf, or gold-colored Cobra
leaf. These bases are then
richly covered with green and red Christmas
materials: Vanda, Malus waxed apples,
Rosa rosehips, Abies nobilis, Chamaecyparis,
Schinus molle, and Rosa 'Red Naomi'.
Christmas moon
The base consists of a round polystyrene shape wrapped with reed pith, secured with staples. A roll is made from a strip of cardboard with corn husk glued on it. This is attached to one side of the reed pith circle. The remaining crescent shape is filled with Christmas greenery (Pinus, Abies nobilis), gold-colored sprayed Asparagus plumosus, rose hips, red Christmas balls, and coconut Christmas stars. The whole arrangement is mounted on a base. Finally, some rose hips are glued onto the corn husk roll.
Christmas cones
Flexible willow branches are attached in an arched shape to a polystyrene base wrapped with cork strips. Taxus greenery is attached to a number of arches with
wiring. Wooden cones filled with Oasis floral foam are
clamped between the willow branches. The red fruits and
flowers – Rosa ‘Red Naomi’, rose hips, Gypsophilla,
Dendrobium – form a contrast with the green. Asparagus plumosus and Papaver seed pods sprayed in gold
provide the finishing touch.
Shards
Fallen Christmas baubles are the inspiration for this
easy-to-make arrangement – which also works well
in a smaller format. The larger shards are glued to the
dish, the small pieces scattered. With beautiful candles
and here and there a whole Christmas bauble serving as a vase
– containing a carnation, Vanda or Nerine – a tasteful
ensemble is created.
Prickly
A polystyrene ball is wrapped with red wool, leaving
space so that the approximately one hundred tonkin sticks can be inserted between them. The tonkin sticks were sprayed red – in a quick movement – and then subtly sprinkled with glitter while the paint was still wet. A number of small Christmas baubles are glued into the heart. Finally, the Nerine and Gloriosa are inserted on floral tubes between the 'Corallo' rose hips.
