Product Information

Spray twigs with eco-friendly gold paint and insert the twigs through the moss, between the orchids. Now that we know that all Christmas trees don’t resemble each other, there is often an easy way to tell pines apart from fir and spruce. Although, they are all needled evergreens, they are quite different from each other. Start by attaching your greenery, fixing bundles in place with twine. Overlay the greenery so you can't see where it is attached to the baluster. Your Christmas pine cone craft ideas don't have to involve hot glue, wire, and twine! This fragrant potpourri is an easy mix of festive favorites, with a shelf life that lasts well into winter. For added inspiration, don't forget to read Julia's poem 'The Christmas Pine', commissioned as part of The Poetry Society's annual Look North More Often programme, and performed by three children from St Mary of the Angels Primary School here.

Having tried a number of Christmas trees, House & Garden contributing writer Jessica Salter determined The White Company's ‘Symons Nordmann Fir’ to be the best of the bunch. With its hyper-realistic branches, natural shade of green and fluffy looking tips, the overall effect is festive without feeling faux. The seven and a half foot tree is over four feet wide, and is comprised of over 1,754 hand painted (yes, really) tips for a bushy and bright effect. Plus, The White Company have a pre-lit version of the same tree for a hassle free Christmas decorating session.

Each year, for the last 70 years, the Mayor of Oslo in Norway has given a Christmas tree to the people of Britain as a thank you for their support during WWII. The tree is a symbol of peace and friendship between the two countries. Every year, a poet is asked to write a poem to welcome the tree. This book contains the poem that Julia Donaldson wrote for the 2020 Christmas tree.This eye-catching display is beautiful but easy to make yourself. And the pairing of rustic pine cone decorations with elegant white poinsettia is beautiful. It's also an interesting way to rethink your design when you're making a poinsettia wreath. Although, there are over a hundred different types of pine depending on the region, the most popular types of pine include: A downside for me was that the Scandinavian illustrator has depicted this tree as having branches that face the ground. If you look at a Christmas tree or Google a Norwegian Spruce (which is what this is) you will see their branches point up to the sky. Sadly they're often drawn pointing down, many art teachers use this as an example of drawing what you see not what you think you see. This poem was commissioned to decorate the annual Trafalgar Square Christmas tree, with banner artwork by Marcus Walters, as part of The Poetry Society's annual Look North More Often programme.
