How do I use branches from pine trees to decorate outdoors?

I trimmed my evergreen trees and used them in these ways---

*a branch added to an old sled with a pr of ice skates

*a branch with a red ribbon and a few christmas ornaments on my front door

*branches added to an upside down tomato cage to create a "tree" then lights added

Cut the greens into shorter pieces, around 15 to 24". Lay a few in the same direction with the cut ends at the top. Bind the bunch together with twine or craft wire to make a swag, then cover the bound end with a big bow. They can be used instead of a wreath, or hang on porch columns and railings. Add any other decorations you wish. They do need to be kept outdoors or the needles will drop quickly.

Take a thick rope and wire the branches to it, and use as swags to decorate fences or other areas. Add bright ribbons at each swag.

Hi Willi. I cut the branches and put them in my flower pots. If you have any berry trees or red wood or birch branches that also adds color. Have fun!

How are you going to keep sap off stuff...first step to your decor

I USE MY LARGEST POTS FROM SUMMER AND PUT SYROFOAM CHUNK AND STICK MY FRESH GREENERY IN IT .also weigh pot down with earth or rocks so it wont tip over in wind
