Set a piller candle on a platter or tray, then begin adding your greenery. This base is the perfect place to showcase tiny ornaments, natural pinecones, little candles, and other decorations.

Finish off with a bow, then set on a table or use for a fast centerpiece. As the greenery is not in water, it may only last several days.

Platter of Greenery

• platter or tray
• piller candle
• pine greenery
• bow
• ornaments or pine cones

Set a piller candle on a platter or tray.

Use the greenery to fill in around the candle. Use several types of greenery for interest, keeping the stems pointed toward the center of the platter, and disguising them within the layers of greens.

Set small ornaments or pine cones on top of the greens. Add a colorful bow.
