Holiday Decorating A fun way to dress up the
entrance of your home, to welcome guests at the holidays is to create a
wreath of dried Hydrangea attached to your chandelier. Hydrangea has a wonderful variety of autumn
and winter colors as it dries. You
simply leave it on the plant until about November (in the Washington D.C.
area). Then cut and place in a vase
(without water) to dry. When the
flowers are dry and brittle, they are ready to be sprayed with floral spray which
adds color and helps preserve it. I
prefer a light spray of apple green leaving a few deep burgundy tones visible
around the edges. All this can be done
well in advance of the holidays. Before attaching the flowers, place the ends of four
ribbons (measured the same length as your chandelier chain) equally spaced on
the wreath frame. Tie two of the
ribbons together and attach a bow. Do
the same to the other two. Place hoops
(curtain hooks are good) to the back of both bows. This is what you will use to hang the
entire wreath to the top chain of your chandelier. After finishing the bows, attach Hydrangea
with floral wire making sure they are snug, and you are ready to hook the
whole wreath on to your chandelier. Organize & Label
