How to make it
This Christmas decoration is very simple but you need a couple of days because you have to let your material dry very well. Besides it's a low-cost decoration.
Cut the bamboo canes into pieces of different lenght as you can see in the photo. You can use a little saw for making it.
Dust them very well and then colour the half of each lightly with the acrylic paint. Let them dry perfectly and then colour the other half. Meanwhile cut the flower stalks in order to leave a little piece that you have to insert among the bamboo canes. Then sprinkle the flower petals and leaves with the artificial snow here and there. Let the flowers dry.
At this point build the composition of bamboo canes as you can see in the photo using the glue. Insert the roseand hydrangea stalks among the canes using some drops of the glue. Let all the composition dry very well.
Knot the ribbon and sprinkle the bamboo canes with the artificial snow here and there. Wait some hours before placing your Christmas decoration.

You can decorate with it a piece of furniture in your home or shop-window if you've got a furrier's shop or a jewelry ... But you use it as a centrepiece too; in fact it is little, it doesn't scent and you can adapt it to very kinds of table (very cool on a wooden table!).
Besides you can decorate your home or shop for all winter: you have only to change the ribbon and substitute it with a white one.
