Evergreen
Embelishments
|
The fragrance of real evergreens epitomizes the
holidays
Fill you home with the holiday essence of evergreen swags,
garlands and wreaths. For the longest life, keep them out of direct sunlight and drafts
and mist occasionally with water. Use only with UL-approved lights, and keep them a safe
distance from burning candles.
 |
Adorn a banister with an
intertwined garland of aromatic Douglas Fir, Wester Red Cedar or Noble fir. Miniature
white lights and velvet bows enhance the festive look.
|
 |
Gather a rich abundance of pine
cones, from tiny Lodgepile pines, to large Jeffrey pines, conical Sugar pines and
traditional Ponderosa pines. Intersperse them with sparkling ornaments for a picturesque
display on your hearth.
|
 |
Add wire-edged ribbons and pine
cones to embellish wreaths on doors and windows. Silver fir offers shiny needles with
silvery undersides, while Noble firs lush, bluish foliage offers a delicate
fragrance. Silvery-blue berries adorn aromatic Juniper wreaths.
