Bundled up Rosehip Scatter twigs… for anywhere you need a small frosted winter decorating touch

Frost a few delicate twigs with artificial snow and dew drop crystals.

You can find detailed Tutorials for both adding artificial snow to twigs and how I add dew drop crystals with a pin below this post.

Tie the twigs with ribbon.

Design note: I like to add a wind blown ribbon to my designs. The kind of ribbon that looks like the wind completed the design for me. But you might like to add a bow or even a double bow. Whatever your style is... go with that.

If you want to explore more about developing your personal style and how working in your own way makes your work easier... and more fun have a look at my book.

And freeze the ribbon in place by adding a frosting of artificial snow. Paint the edges of the ribbon with clear drying wood glue...

And prop up the ribbon with the snow so that it dries in place.

Lift the bundles up to test to see if the ribbon is frosted exactly how you want it to be.

I rather liked the twigs just like that... but if you are already missing the glow of Christmas you can add a few flowers and berries...

Glue in a few Kalanchoe flowers.

... to finish the winter display design. Book readers find more information about preserving plant material on page 110 onwards. But to get you started I show you how I dried the rosehips in our email this week.

Design note: these acrylic reindeer are absolutely amazing... great quality and inexpensive. I have linked them for you in my email if you want to have a look.
