With just a little flair and our easy step-by-step directions, you can

turn flowers and greenery into one-of-a-kind arrangements that lend

a stylish, festive touch to your home for the holidays.

Talmage McLaurin, publisher of

Florists’ Review

magazine, created

these arrangements—and shows how to make them on

page 78.

The

techniques are so clever yet so simple, that in no time you or your florist

will come up with arrangements for holiday decorations that suit your

home perfectly.
