instructions

1. Place florist foam inside a colander and insert a church candle into it, using a knife to create an opening. Place various leaves around the outside of the foam in a decorative way, using scissors to achieve a variety of heights and tape to secure. Pierce a few sprigs into the foam.

2. Add wintry berries amongst the leaves, followed by a gingham ribbon bow. Slot two silver stars into the foam, then simple place the colander into the centre of your table and light the candle! Add a little water every couple of days to keep it fresh.
