This shows how to cut a long branch of cedar into several useable sections. Use these to fill in the top and sides of the arrangement.

Tip: See below to remove needles at the end of each section before inserting into the foam.
See photos of materials used in this centerpiece.

	Cutting up cedar This photo shows how to cut up a larger branch of cedar to make many smaller sprigs.
	Remove needles on end of branch Gently remove the last few needles on evergreen branches. This will give you a clean end to insert into the foam.

	Stripped Branch Remove needles up about 1/2 to 1" on each stem. This will give you a clean end to insert into the foam, and will give a better hold. ©1999-2002, Glenna J. Morton - #991120GJM - FallPROJ011f Go back to Page 2
