THE EDIT December 2012 | Page 7

The lovely Laura at Liparrazi, has been busy whipping up an aray of festive decs, and I have to say they really are beautiful! Laura writes her blog from her quaint cottage-esque home on the outskirts of Aberdeen, and I have to say I am a little bit jealous, seeing pictures of her home reminded me of the cottage that Cameron Diaz escapes to in the film The Holiday. Laura has been kind enough to allow us to share her festive decs and a little guide on how to make these beauties all for yourself! So grab a cuppa, flick to the next page and start writing your "to do" list!

What you'll need :

*1 wooden trough

*Floral Foam

* 4 Candles

* Festive Foliage

How to :

1. Taking your floral foam, cut it to size so that it fits inside each compartment in the trough

2. Push your candles into the centre of each piece of foam to create a hole

3. Take the candles back out and cut to size so as the candles aren't too tall, then place the candles back into the trough

4. Taking your foliage, begin to place it inside each trough

5. using the ends of the foliage, push it into the foam to ensure that it stays in place

VIOLA!
