   U can make a winter branch Pine! It’s really easy to make and surely will give another nuance on Christmastime beside the classic wreath..But first prepare Ur self with some extra decoration stuff like snow spray, transparent nylon and Christmas jewel balls. Choose the color that U like most, whether its gold or silver..then U need to go along by Matching the color on the fake flowers based on your balls so they will have the same monotone color.Why we need to go similar color as the ball, because the balls will be the most obvious things on it..
   Say if you go with silver then u may use silver ribbon, some little white-colored silk hydrangeas, a white-colored silk roses..but if U go with gold, then of course use the gold ribbon, a gold or yellow-colored silk hydrangeas, and a yellow-colored silk roses.

   Basically u can adjust the number of each stuff according to the size of your craft. I used to have a medium one with 4 balls and 2 pcs of each flowers, but if U’d like to have a bigger one , U just simple add the number.

   How to make, well it’s really easy, since u’ve already expert with the wreath before..Firstly, Sprinkle the silk flowers with the artificial snow and then let them dry very well. then prepare the Christmas balls, arrange it in the pine branch using the transparent thread.

   In the same way arrange the silk flowers and the silver ferns Knot the silver ribbon at the top. Sprinkle the artificial snow directly on the pine here and there. Let the composition dry very well. Hang on the main door or on a wall.

   You could make another wreath the same size ,or smaller, and hang it under the other one. Attach them together by looping the ribbon around the bottom of one wreath and the top of the other. Here is an example, except it is 3 wreaths-http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/holiday-wreaths?lnc=a489cf380e1dd010VgnVCM1000005b09a00aRCRD&rsc=lpg_holiday&lpgStart=1&currentslide=12&currentChapter=1
   Gather the ends of the branches together(with a zip tie or wire), with the pine boughs hanging down. Tie a bow around the branches and you have something else to hang on your door or in your home.
   Stick the branches in a flower pot, urn, whiskey barrel, and add some pine cones.
