Holidays are a time when we gather with family and close people. If your dining table adorns the same items all year round, you can feel the need to apply creativity to decorating the table for the holidays. Simply replacing small details - for example, flowers or accessories - you can create wonderful decorative compositions that will look great on the New Year's table, and then at Christmas. Each composition includes the same set of dishes, cutlery, the same tablecloth-track - and at the same time, these compositions are quite different from each other.

How to make an ornament for the center of a table from a branch of a tree and flowers

Materials:

• Dry branch of a tree
• Leaves
• Flowers with stems
• Twine
• Scissors

Here a branch of the vine, flowers of eucharis, bird-bird, euphorbia and eucalyptus leaves were used.

1. Gently tie the stems with the leaves to the branch with twine. Take care that you have a little extra rope left so that she can tie additional green stems and hide the edges under the branch.

2. Tie the flowers to the branch in the same way, trying to make the stems of the leaves fit snugly to the branch, repeating its relief.

3. As you continue to decorate the branch with leaves and flowers, you can also stitch or put flowers in the cracks and grooves in the branch wood.

4. As soon as the work on decorating the branch with flowers and leaves is finished, carefully place your man-made masterpiece on the table so that everyone can admire them. After the end of dinner, you can decorate this decorative detail with a console or coffee table.

Tip: The life of such an ornament should be at least two days, depending on how fragile the flowers you have chosen. When the flowers begin to fade, replace them with fresh ones.
