If you don't have a hurricane, use a footed bowl.

You can weave it around the wreath, or just tie a big bow and attach to the front. I would recommend wiring the bow on because it is easier to handle than trying to glue.https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/more-flowers.gifmore-flowershttps://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/add-sparkle.gifadd-sparkleThe next step is to add some sparkle. You can use glittery branches, sparkly stems, whatever tickles your fancy. https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/add-berries.gifadd-berriesOnce you have the poinsettias glued on, start adding in little sprigs of berries. You can keep it sparse or go with my theory that more is better! (I use that theory with chocolate... a lot!)https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/add-flowers.gifadd-flowersFirst, fluff up the greenery so it looks a bit more natural. If you are using a live wreath, make sure you set it on top of something that will catch sap and needles. I like artificial because there isn't any mess involved. After you've got your wreath all flouncy, start placing on the poinsettias. Get them situated where you want them then hot glue them on (you can wire them, but glue is so much faster!).https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ingredients6.gifingredientsThe materials you will need to make this centerpiece. A wreath, poinsettias (I used velvet), fake berries, some sparkly stems and ribbon. https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/finished.giffinished2010-12-21T20:38:30+00:00monthlyhttps://savvyentertaining.com/2010/12/21/how-to-create-a-holiday-buffet/https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/finished-buffet.giffinished-buffethttps://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/with-linens.gifwith-linenshttps://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/draped-in-black.gifdraped-in-blackhttps://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/boxes.gifboxeshttps://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/start-with-black.gifstart-with-blackhttps://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blank-table.gifblank-table2010-12-21T16:44:40+00:00monthlyhttps://savvyentertaining.com/2010/12/20/sentimental-decorations/https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/swans.gifswans2010-12-20T16:21:49+00:00monthlyhttps://savvyentertaining.com/2010/12/17/sugar-cookies/https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/finished-2.giffinished-2Enjoy!https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/cookies.gifcookiesFrost and...https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/out-of-the-oven.gifout-of-the-ovenLet cookies rest in the pan when you remove from the oven for just a minute before moving to a wire rack to completely cool.https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/in-to-the-oven.gifin-to-the-ovenPop into the oven and bake until just set - about 6-8 minutes.https://savvyentertaining.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/cut-out.gifcut-outCut out your favorite shapes.
