For our Christmas party some years ago, I bought several Christmasy flower arrangements, carefully arranged them in vases, and placed them around the house. Classy, perhaps, but completely unimaginative. I’m pretty sure no one even noticed them. Not exactly money well spent.
So this year I decided to get a little more creative (and thrifty) with my flower arrangement, with the idea to create something similar to this:

Step 3: The wrappers hung down over the bottom, so I glued those down and then cut a circle of scrapbook paper & glued that over the wrappers.
