By published 18 December, 2011 No Comments

Some of the loveliest Christmas accessories can be created both cheaply and easily and this is a typical way to achieve a real feel of Christmas. Let the scent of a true Yuletide fill your home with this wonderful arrangement of aromatic herbs, beautiful flowers and fragrant spices.

All you’ll need are: Cinnamon sticks: a circular glass vase: Elastic band or string: a phlox plant: ribbon: a selection of greenery and berries that can be picked by the roadside: rosemary sprigs: white roses: florist’s wire and star anise.

Method:
1. Attach the cinnamon sticks around the vase with elastic or string. Fill the vase with water.
2. Carefully cut stems of phlox plant and place in vase. Add ribbon to vase to hide the string.
3. Add greenery and berries, making sure taller stems are at the back. Add white roses – trim stems if needed.
4. Thread florist’s wire with star anise at intervals and gently place over the arrangement.
