Poinsettia and Candle Holders
You can decorate your Christmas table using poinsettia and candle holders that you can create quickly and easily yourself. Moreover, you can arrange them in various ways.
For this, you will need: mini-poinsettias, gold glitter, glue, glazed apples, candles, pointed candle holders, test tubes, tree moss, gold wire, oranges, red decorative ribbon and pins or tacks.
To create the holders:
Poinsettia holder: Make a hole in the apple at the stem level. Apply glue around the hole and cover it with gold glitter. Remove excess glitter. Then insert the test tube into the hole, fill it with water and place the poinsettia inside.
Candle holder with poinsettia: Carefully remove the mini-poinsettia from its pot, wrap the root in tree moss and secure it with gold wire. Tip: Water the plant beforehand to keep the soil moist. Finally, place the candle holder in the moss-covered soil.
Decorating oranges: Wrap the oranges with red ribbon, tie it in a bow shape and fasten it at the bottom of the fruit with a pin or tack.
Arrange the poinsettia and candle holders on the table alongside the decorated oranges and several glazed apples.
