"Dried/Faux Holiday Table Centerpiece" Class |
Let's make a beautiful centerpiece for your holiday table! Lisa will guide you in making this holiday arrangement using dried and preserved greenery, such as cedar, juniper, magnolia, salal, sweet annie, etc. and dried flowers such as cockscomb, lavender, Silver King artemesia and yarrow. Then we will add faux berries, holly, gourds, pumpkins, various pods, cones and spices (pine cones, magnolia pods, lotus pods, cinnamon sticks, etc.) to the finished arrangement. Here's the best part - you will leave with a beautiful centerpiece to be used for your fall/Thanksgiving decor, and also leave with interchangeable materials to convert your centerpiece into a Christmas theme for December! All you need to bring is your favorite basket, container or pottery* to make the arrangement in - if you don't have anything, don't worry - you may purchase a basket from The Little Herb House! |
