Directions
-
Spray paint the basket with October
Brown. Allow to dry.
-
Place Styrofoam bricks in the basket.
Styrofoam should be placed in a round fashion with the middle as the
highest point.
-
Now that the Styrofoam is arranged in
the basket, we need to give it a little color. Cover all visible areas
with green moss (hot glue or white glue can be used).
-
Secure the Styrofoam in place, with
greening pins.
-
Weave the lights through the Styrofoam
and secure in place using those handy greening pins.
-
Wrap he floral pick around the end of
each pinecone. Now push the pick into the Styrofoam. Repeat this step
until all of the pinecones have been used.
By now the basket should appear to be full of pine cones.
-
Add decorative picks where space
allows.
-
Trim with a bow and add cording to the
center.
