Done a few last Christmas, but it was so difficult working with all the holly.

Do any of you sale the festive topiary trees, can anyone give me new ideas. Used some red cars last year dipped in gold spray, holly, cones and walnuts, just about to order some round oasis balls. Have a ladies pamper evening here soon and they have asked me to do lots of Xmas arrangements but had lots of people asking for the topiary last year. Not sure what to charge for them either.

Will try and post a pic of last years efforts.

HAHA sorry, looking back at my posts, seems like I've gone Christmas and tree mad.

Tree mad what about using cupresses and small baubles small parcels even mini crackers if selling in shop work out cost of what you use and double and add on something for make up it means you will have profit but whatever way you cost up don't sell to cheap otherwise you will be inundated with orders and people will take you for granted been there done that

Eww they took me ages to Rach, remember last year standing in the freezing cold garage making them up for free for my mates.

Like the idea of small baubles, and parcels

I'll be displaying them at the ladies pamper evening Rach, thanks for the advice.

With the cupresses you could start now and leave them outside they will last ages even use blue spruce although you may have to buy latter cupresses you could forage from gardens/woods even use sphere oasis then they do look like xmas tree

Thanks so much Rach. I have lots of cupresses too, as my friend bought me a big bag over and some nice cones. Loving the idea of sphere oasis, why didn't I think of that

Will do both so they can choose, can't wait to get started now.

Good luck
