Celebrations of all kinds are happening around us.  A magical way to celebrate the holidays is illuminating ice lanterns!

Ice Lanterns are an easy project that is fun to put together. 

First you need to gather branches, berries, pine, moss, leaves or anything found in nature.

You need a container that holds water and can freeze without breaking.  Here are some examples…File 263

Feeling inspired by the season I decided to collect some fresh and dried foliage to put a wreath together.  These are the material that I used.  Pruners, a wire wreath frame, floral wire and an abundance of autumns bounty.

We would love to share with you how we created our Harvest Topiary.
First we found a beautiful pot that would match the scale of the topiary.

We collected the materials.  Including grape vine, bittersweet vine, an assortment of gourds, cabbage, pansies, lotus pods, and branches from viburnum, clethra, Japanese maple.  We also needed some soil, moss, and a metal obelisk to create the topiary.
