Creating your own wreaths, planters adds personality to holiday decor

WINNIPEG — Holiday decorating can be easier at this time of year with all the selection out there, but why not get creative with your own winter garnish?

By putting together your own planters and wreaths, you can add your own flair and personality to what could be typical holiday decor.

Planters can hold cedar, pine or fir, or combine all three for a fuller look.

“We always [work with] height first, always keeping it in proportion to the pot, and sort of the area of the door or wherever you’re putting it in your home,” said Andrea Purcell of Lacoste Garden Centre.

Soil or a floral foam both work well as a base for your arrangement. From there you can decorate with branches, flowers and your greenery.

If you’re looking for a more blinged-out arrangement, you can add bows to the bottom of your wreaths, glittery accessories, or other ornaments and decorations.
