Method
Clean the wooden box thoroughly and make sure it is stable.
Cut the Floral Foam to fit the size of the wooden box. Soak the Floral Foam in water until it is completely saturated.
Place the Floral Foam in the wooden box. Tip: If the box is not airtight, you should insert some foil beforehand to prevent water from leaking out.
Cut the evergreen branches to the desired length and insert them evenly into the foam so that the wooden box is well covered.
Cut the ivy to suitable lengths and insert it decoratively between the evergreen branches.
Attach the dried berries or rose hips to the branches with wire and distribute them harmoniously in the arrangement.
Arrange the mossy branches so that they create a beautiful, natural picture.
Insert the 4 candle holders evenly into the arrangement.
Scatter the golden nuts throughout the arrangement for a festive glow.
Place the candles in the holders and make sure they are firmly in place and straight.
Check the arrangement for gaps and add more branches, ivy or berries if necessary to create a harmonious overall look.
Make sure that the candles are secure and do not come into contact with the branches to avoid a fire. Note: Never leave the candles burning unattended!
