From a door wreath to a table centre piece.
Foam free. Sustainable. Made on a grapevine base I had from a previous year. Yes bound in wire over twine. But my hands just wont allow me to pull and keep hold of the twine as tight as I need to without cramping. The wire is kinder on them.
Foliage is offcuts of my Christmas tree, eucalyptus from Armoy, Cyprus from my hedging, and dried flowers all grown by me.
This forest like table centre started out as a door wreath, but one thing lead to another and I decided I wanted to enjoy it inside. It was the perfect fit for a glass cake stand and I started to gather up all the little extras. A vase, pinecones, lights and ornaments.
I decided to leave it bare at the front, as the foliage is quite tall, at 24cm.
It's definitely one of my favourite winter schemes, over traditional Christmas table centre pieces
