I found a beautiful candelabra at our local Goodwill for only $6.00 – it’s a good piece, very heavy. I knew it needed to be the center of attention on our holiday mantel so I built a floral design around it…
For this project you will need: 2 – 10″ plastic floral trays, 2 – 8″ wet floral foam bricks (both can be found online or at Michaels), floral tape (to secure foam brick to tray), fresh greenery, apples, pine cones, glass ornaments, ribbon and bamboo picks to secure fruit to arrangement.
I created two arrangements on either side and added long strands of ivy from our garden. The ivy was inserted into each arrangement and brought up to the top of the mirror and wired together to create an arch.
As we got closer to Christmas, we added our daughters’ stockings (purchased from Red Chair Stitchery on Etsy).
