Getting Started
First things first – grab a sturdy 13″ pot. Trust me, you’ll need the space.
Fill it with good quality soil until it’s about 2 inches from the top.
Pro Tip: I learned the hard way – frozen soil is like concrete. Get your pots ready before the deep freeze hits.
The Assembly (Where the Magic Happens)
- Start with your thriller – I usually go for a majestic spruce top right in the center
- Layer in your fillers at a slight angle (this creates that professional, flowing look)
- Add your spillers around the edges, letting them cascade naturally
The Extra Sparkle
Now for the fun part – decorative elements that make your arrangement pop:
- Natural pinecones (gathered from your yard = free decor!)
- Bright winterberry branches
- Silver-painted branches
- Weather-resistant ribbons
- Twinkling battery-operated lights
