- Here is a look at everything that was used in this Centerpiece

- Susan started this Centerpiece by first connecting the two largest ends of the Teardrops together. She used a bit of Floral Wire to tie them together, end to end. Then she used a small piece of the Styrofoam Block in the center to rest the Top Hat Tree Topper on. She secured both of these with Hot Glue to hold the Tree Topper in place.Â
 
- Once the Tree Topper was secure Susan looped the 2.5" Bold Argyle Ribbon & then 1.5" Red and Gold Harlequin Ribbon down the length of both sides of the Centerpiece. She used the branches to tie off each section of ribbon.
 

- Next Susan cut the 6' Norfolk Pine Garland into individual sections and added that throughout both sides of the Centerpiece. She did this to add volume and more Greenery to the design. She used Hot Glue to secure each section.
 
 
 
- Susan then cut the majority of the length off of the Navy Blue Oversized Holly Spray and placed one on either side of the Tree Topper. She used Hot Glue to secure both pieces.Â
 
- Susan then worked her way down the left hand side of the Centerpiece adding the various florals. She spaced out the larger pieces so that they weren't crowding each other. She layered in the Red Glitter Cedar sprays and cut the Striped Ball Spray into multiple sections before adding it.Â
 
 
 
- Next Susan tied small 4 Bows using the remaining Ribbon. She tied one loop each before layering in the next Ribbon. She secured each Bow with a Chenille Stem and then secured them to the Centerpiece. She put one Bow on either side of the Tree Topper at the center of the Arrangement. She added the last two Bows to both ends.Â
 
 
 
 
- Next Susan worked on the middle of the Centerpiece and then down the right hand side. She continued to layer in the larger florals and fill in with the smaller pieces.
