Description
This pine cone and berry garland is a generous run of burgundy cones with flecks of gold along their scales. Cones of different sizes sit close together from end to end, with paler gold cones tucked between the deep red ones, bright red berries, sprigs of green pine and the odd soft green leaf. Because it is a faux garland, it will not drop needles or need watering, so it can go up early and stay looking fresh through the season. At 120cm long and 10cm wide it has proper fullness, and the rich burgundy and gold give it a warm, traditional Christmas feel.
Christmas is when this garland comes into its own. Drape it along a mantelpiece, let it run the length of a sideboard or dresser, or wind it through the banisters so the stairs feel dressed for the season. Laid down the centre of the Christmas table with a few baubles scattered alongside, it makes a warm runner for the big meal. The burgundy and gold suit a traditional scheme of deep reds, forest greens and brass, and they show up beautifully against white, cream or grey walls. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, ready to hang the day it is unwrapped.
Every cone, berry and sprig is fixed along the length of the garland, so it hangs as one piece. The gold sits on the tips of the scales, where it catches the glow of lamps and fairy lights. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and keep it well clear of candles and open flames. When the season is over, lay it loosely in a box so the cones keep their shape for next Christmas. For a finishing touch, weave a strand of warm white fairy lights between the cones and let the burgundy and gold do the rest.
