tradition for a while with red decorations. A couple of years ago I saw a purple Christmas tree
with all the trimmings. I have been hooked on purple since then.
I went to a discount store searching for purple tinsel. They did not have any.
I was disappointed because I saw a tinsel wreath craft online. I stumbled
upon purple poinsettias mixed in a bunch of red and white poinsettias.
The display was about seven feet tall. I was so happy that bought all of their purple
poinsettias!
I decided to make potted purple poinsettia arrangements for my front yard. I was
able to get most of my items at a dollar store.. I bought the following items:
(1) Roll, Shiny Purple Gift Wrap ( 30 inches x 48 inches)
(2) 8 inches to Plastic Sand Buckets (from toy section)
(2) Purple Mix Pansies
(1) Purple Rose Bud Bush
Note: Purple Wired Ribbon for a bow was not available.
8 inch planters are an option
Also need: Scissors and Glue Gun with Glue Sticks
Directions
I filled both buckets with wet garden dirt. Green foam pot inserts also an option.
I made arrangements in the 2 buckets using the poinsettias, pansies, and roses.
I cut the shiny gift wrap in half and wrapped both buckets with it. I secured the
gift wrap tightly around the buckets using the glue gun.
I think these Purple Poinsettias Arrangements look great. I plan to set the red chairs and the
arrangements in my front yard after I my rake leaves. I hope my fellow Crafters will try this, using
non-traditional Christmas flowers too. I am going to keep looking for solid color purple wired ribbon.
so I can add pretty bows.
