The interior arrangement Christmas in a Gondola is the great alternative to fresh flowers design. This arrangement fits in office spaces, hotels, and restaurants, takes an attention and creates the mood of the season. The pluses of this artificial arrangement are minimum materials use for this original design and no care needed for the flowers. Let the Christmas arrives at your place!
Suggested materials:
Artificial Orchids Vanda
Artificial Privet Berry
Artificial Magnolia flowers
Artificial Glittered leaves
Candles
Artificial Green leaves
One medium palm paddle
Hot glue
Wire 16 gauge
Paper covered wire
Spanish Moss
Process:
Firstly, create a foot to support the palm paddle using the “spider web” technique. You will need odd numbers od wires, paper covered wire, some beads as the finish are optional.
Make a foot with 2 arms like a slingshot, secure the foot to the parm paddle.
If the palm boat needs an extra support, you can make an additional wire foot to provide the stability.
Now, make wired candleholders of wires and binding wire. Make sure to leave one wire in the center as a spike for a candle.
Glue the candleholders to the palm paddle placing them off center.
Place the candles into the candleholders.
Cut the artificial flowers and foliage into small sections. Gluing the artificial berries and leaves around the candles, add other materials such as orchids, magnolia and Spanish moss to cover the mechanics. To bring the lines into the design, place some dry vines or rustic wire.
Add the decorative elements like small Christmas ornaments, pine cones, fake noble fir branches, cinnamon sticks or dry oranges.
