X'mas Decor Step by Step: Spiral Plant Rack for Hall Entrance (outdoor)

Hello again everyone! Still dizzy for the preparation for the upcoming new year, so this tutorial will be an easy (and fast) one. No decor made from scratch here since we will be using a pre-made plant rack and simple potted plants. But don't be deceived, cause the result will look like a pro.

Enough babbling, for this poinsettia plant rack, youwill need :

- 1 Pre-made spiral iron plant rack, height approx. 1,5 meter and can hold around 9 pots on it but only 5 holes will be filled with potted plants.

- 5 pots pointsettia plants. Choose the bright-red large poinsettia plants that look like velvet

- approx 5-6 m artificial evergreen leaves garland with dia. 15 cm. At least you need 2.5x from length of the curve of the spiral. The longer the garland the better because you need it to cover the unused holes.

- some floral wire

The steps are so simple, first you need to attach the garland onto the top of the rack by using wire. Then simply swirl the garland following the curves of the spiral and secured it at the bottom with another wire.

Last, put the potted poinsettia plants in the pot holes. You only need 5 holes here, the rest should be covered with the evergreen garland. Do it as neatly as possible. In christmas this year, the pointsettia plants used are the top quality ones (maybe imported ones?) for IDR 50.000 per pot !! Wheew, just count the total price....However, the imported ones do have bigger flowerheads and the color is brighter.

And Voila !!! This plant rack decor will look stunning either on the entrance or inside of your house. If you can't find pointsettia plants you can substitute with other flowers plants, just use the ones with lots of flowerheads on them, so it will look like flower arrangements..Have fun trying !!!

Note: The location is still at St. Peter Cathedral and there are 2 decor like this. Each was put at the left and right side of the entrance door of the hall. Both were made by Mrs. Mie Man and her team.
