Ever wanted to try your hand at making your own decorative pots? Check out the link below and see how to make a decorative planter step-by-step. Things that were not mentioned in the video: “In order to keep this under 30 minutes I used live wreaths for my planters (got at Wal-Mart for $15 each). This makes the design process go fairly quick.
As you can see I chose NOT to use the twigs in the one planter because when I was designing I felt that there was a lot of empty space in the planter that had twigs. I simply broke the twigs to create different height variations.
I placed an odd number of ornaments throughout the wreathes and tried to place them to where some are “tucked in” and others are noticeable. The main thing is to keep the same color scheme throughout both planters.
As far as placement of pine cones and the Poinsettia, I played around with those until I liked where I placed them. I personally felt like placing the poinsettia and the bows on the corner of the planters really pulled the whole design together.” -Lauren
