What You'll Need:

• florist foam
• sharp knife
• heavy-weight garden urn
• cool-temperature glue gun and glue sticks
• 6 dry, bare tree branches sturdy enough to hold ornaments (we used oak)
• dry sheet moss
• 10 vase ornaments (more, if desired)
• 10 dendrobium orchid stems (more, if desired); if orchids are unavailable, try cut flowering stems of paperwhite narcissus, small roses, or spider mums.
