    When I first read it, I was thinking rakes, hoes, etc. LOL Have seen some really neat wreathes that people create on this site. Or you could get a tall narrow urn, place tree branches in them and work from there.

    Marion You can take pine cones and with a hole saw drill out the top and put tea lights in them. Run some greenery and add a few berries and you can have a centerpiece. You can take a big hurricane vase, add a smaller vase on the inside and in the space between the two add greenery, berries and small pine cones. You can use pinecones with a ribbon attached as placecards. You can also glue a ribbon and spray them with artifical snow and make Christmas ornaments. I have added greenery and berries and hung them down with ribbons in fron of a picture window. Hope this helps Oh you can also set a big basket on the floor and add greenery, pinecones, ribbons and a small strand of twinkle lights. I have also did thi inside a mason jar. So pretty.
