PROCEDURE
1. Soak about 50 long, slender pine cones
(the type that can be easily found in
wooded areas during the fall) in water until
they close.
2. Once closed, insert them hie wheel
spokes, alternating direction, through the
wire spaces in one wreath frame.
3. Attach the two largest wires of the two
frames together, back to back. If they
match well, glue the wires together; If not,
wire them.
4. Glue shorter, thicker pine ones (found in
abundance in wooded areas during fall
months) in three circular rows to the pairs
of wires in the empty top frame.
5. Attach artificial fruit, if desired, leaving
space for a ribbon bow. Fill in empty
,,rr paces with anything available—chestnuts,
„ha burrs, tiny cones and twisted off rosettes
of spruce cones.
6. Attach a loop of wire or heavy cord for
hanging and spray with several coats of
clear lacquer to enhance color and pre-
serve.
7. If you have any difficulty tying a satisfactory
velvet bow, use the glue gun to spot -glue
the loops of the bow. Then, wire in place.

Candles & Oil Lamps: Mood setting, soft
candle and lamplight creates an intimate
and gracious atmosphere! Group candles
for a dramatic effect ... create a festival of
fire by nestling several large red candles of
varying heights as a centrepiece. Another
way to achieve an enchanting effect inex-
pensively is to put water, oil and a wick in
wide juice glasses and place sparkle
throughout your house.
Front Door: A festive wreath highlighted
with garlands of green around door and on
railings is the traditional symbol of
welcome! For an elegant theme, spray
cones silver and adorn the wreath with
silver ribbon. A holly and pine cone circle
makes a wonderful natural wreath.
Holiday Table: A centrepiece with
candles can be designed for any theme. For
a country Christmas, put candles in red ap-
ples. For an elegant setting, use sprigs of
holly on silver candelabra. Place your cen-
trepiece on a flat mirror outlined in a
garland ... the effect is soft, reflective and
distinctive!
