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!
