How to make a Christmas table arrangement using living red cyclamen into a black urn with candles and red baubles.
If you are looking for a centre piece for the Christmas holiday
celebrations that will last long after the event then try this very simple and elegant design.
You will need:
- 2 terracotta dish bowls
- Black spray paint
- 5 mini red cyclamen plants
- Glass candle cover
- Red candle
- Red Christmas baubles
- Hot glue gun
- Drainage stones
- Soil
For the container – I used two terracotta ‘dish bowls’. Ensure that the base dish is slightly smaller than the top. Bring both ‘bottom’s together and glue down on top of each other to create a taller urn shape. Spray paint black. You will probably need to coats.
Method:
Fill the top dish with a few drainage stones or broken up pottery pieces then place potting soil on top.
Transplant red cyclamen into soil with equal distance, around the edges leaving sufficient space in the middle to position glass candle cover.
Place candle onto the middle of the design, then place glass cover.
Place baubles in between plants.
After Christmas simply remove baubles and you will have a long-lasting living display that will keep on growing for months ahead.
Perfect easy designing for the holiday season!
