Budget Friendly Ways to Refresh A Silk Arrangement
I honestly don’t remember where this silk arrangement came from. I thought I could make it work with my coastal/shabby chic decor. Since I don’t use a lot of pink in my everyday decor, it ended up just taking up space in the back bedroom.
Until one afternoon when it dawned on me that with a few twists and a bit of floral magic, it could be transformed into something that would look lovely with my pink Christmas tree!
The Christmas Additions
I had a garland of white poinsettias that I wasn’t using and a bag of glittery pine cones. I also had a few sprigs of frosted ivy that I could use.
The Process
Did you know you can just pop the heads off of a silk flower stem? And replace them with another flower head? That is how I took out all the spring flowers. I used three white poinsettias around the perimeter. I left the three pink roses in place as well as the tiny green flowers.
Taking the Stems Apart
I added a few pieces of frosted ivy and then put the inner part of the poinsettia in the center of the ivy to make it more interesting.
I decided to use 5 glittered pine cones. If you don’t have glittered pinecones, you can either use plain or spray glitter on plain ones.
Add The Lights
The final step is to weave the battery lights thru the arrangement. The lights I chose to use had pearl beads as well as tiny lights.
Refreshing the arrangement by changing out a few flowers and accents for the current season allows you to save on storage space. Place the out of season flowers and accent pieces in a Ziploc bag and mark them “Flowers/Accents for Holiday Centerpiece” or something similar. The Ziploc bag will take up much less space than a finished arrangement!
