Step 1 of 19

Gather supplies. I took trimmings from my cedar pyramid hedge and my golden euonymus shrubs. I also had dried seed heads, pinecones and fake berries in my craft supply box

Step 2 of 19

Cut smaller pieces off your trimmings. I used pieces ranging from 6" to 12".

Step 3 of 19

Layer evergreen pieces in bowl of planter as a base layer.

Step 4 of 19

Keep adding pieces ,making sure the stems are pointed towards the centre so they don't show.

Step 5 of 19

I added pieces to the top and bottom to create a full shape.

Step 6 of 19

Cut pieces of your secondary greenery. Trim the stems so approx 4" is bare. This will make it easier to add to the evergreens.

Step 7 of 19

Step 8 of 19

Keep adding pieces until you are satisfied with how it looks. I used three larger pieces then added some thinner single stems.

Step 9 of 19

Prep your dried plants. These seed heads need to be attached to some sort of stem. I pushed some craft wire through the seed head and twisted it because the stem broke off.

Step 10 of 19

With the wire firmly attached to the seed head, we're ready to attach it to a stem.

Step 11 of 19

I used a stem from some of my cuttings. Cut a 4"-6" piece, remove any leaves, then wrap the wire around it.

Step 12 of 19

Place the seed head in the greenery.

Step 13 of 19

Prep and place the remaining pieces. Remember that an odd number is more aesthetically pleasing than an even number.

Step 14 of 19

Cut off small bunches of berries from the large piece. These are fake berries I purchased from the dollar store.

Step 15 of 19

Again I used a 4" piece of stem from my cuttings. I attached the berries by wrapping it and the stem with florist tape.

Step 16 of 19

The berries add a nice pop of colour. I added five small bunches.

Step 17 of 19

Prep your pinecones. I twisted some craft wire around inside the cone near the base.

Step 18 of 19

Twist the wire around a bare stem and place it in your arrangement.

Step 19 of 19

Finished product!

You're Done!
