How to Store Your Wreaths Wreaths are a beautiful and welcoming way to decorate your house, especially for holidays. There are so many wreath options and so many different seasons that any creative crafter can easily feel overrun with them. There are several efficient, organized ways to keep your wreaths stored until you need them. In fact, one of the best ways to store your wreaths is to simply reuse them. You can do so by having only one wreath and changing or rotating the decorations you display on it. Keep in mind that since you will be using this wreath foundation constantly, you will want it to be quite durable. Simply tape or lightly glue your decorative pieces to the base. This technique allows you to cut down on storage space without throwing away or wrecking your wreaths. Instead of having a dozen wreath boxes, you can keep your flowers and knickknacks in a single container. On the other hand, if you enjoy having several different wreaths, we recommend getting either plastic containers (there are even some built specifically for wreaths) or a simple shelving system so that none of the wreaths get crushed or damaged. The Benefits of Hanging Plants Hanging plants are a great way to decorate any homeâ€"be it a spacious house or a small dorm room. Adding hanging plants adds another dimension to your greenery (a variety of small, tall, low, and high contributes to a great look). Corners make some of the best places for hanging plantsâ€"there is hardly a better way to add color and a clean feeling to those areas of your rooms. They also do not get in anyone’s way. Using the right equipment as you hang your plants prevents you from having problems in the future. Some of the prettiest plants are larger and heaver; these require a metal hook attached directly to a ceiling beam. For lighter, smaller plants, plastic and wooden hooks are usually fine, and you can often just screw them in where you want. As you decide on which hanging plants to use, think about colors of the flowers, shapes of the leaves, the designs of the containers, and how the plant will grow. There are about as many artificial hanging plants as real ones, so do not feel limited in choice if you decide to have the ease of a silk plant. Silk Palm Trees Most people, when they think of artificial trees, think of a pine tree or Christmas tree. However, there are a huge assortment of silk trees available. One that contrasts sharply with the pine tree image is the palm tree. One reason is that their natural habitats are distinctly different. The pine tree is of a wintry climate and is a hearty tree; the palm tree is a very tropical species. There is actually a wide variety of palm trees, and many of these varieties are available as artificial plants as well. The most common silk palm tree is a tall, perfect replica of an outdoor palm tree, complete with coconuts if desired. Make sure you are aware of how wide the tree is before you settle on a certain tree. Most people are surprised to find out how large the palm trees circumference is, and may have to rearrange the room to provide enough space for it. Smaller palm trees are usually sufficient when decorating inside the home. Selecting the Best Container for Your Greenery Choosing the right pot for your flower arrangements, plants, or trees is just as important as choosing the right picture frame for your artwork. You will want to base your pot decisions on the appearance of your greenery, considering things such as color, style, and shape. For instance, if you're thinking about a bonsai plant, you will want a small pot, preferably with a Japanese or Asian influence, and with soft earthy colors. On the other hand, with a bamboo plant the pot should have a more modern design or perhaps use a wicker material. Make sure to do some shopping around before you settle on a design, since there are many options available to you! There is no rulebook as far as pot size. Some flowers or plants look best when accented with a bigger pot, and others require something more delicate.
