Christmas Greenery Arrangements

There isn’t much to prep the buckets. I used a knife to cut one of the foams in half, and these were for the small buckets. I placed the uncut foam inside the big bucket. I didn’t glue the foam pieces to the bottom, and it still held fine. The reasoning behind this was for storage purposes. Also, just in case I decide to fill the bucket with something else in the future.

I cut out the branches from each greenery bundle. I made sure to leave the stem long enough to have a good height. Then I just started adding the greenery to the foam.

As you finish adding the greenery, you will notice that the foam is still peeking out. I used the garland ties I bought at Dollar Tree to cover the bottom and hide the foam.

I sized the ribbon by wrapping it around the bucket before cutting it. Then I glued velcro dots to the ends. One velcro dot was on the outer side, and the other was on the inside opposite ends.

I added the ribbon to the bottom, as shown on the left, but I changed my mind on the placement, and since I didn’t glue it, I was able to move it up.
