FLOWER TOWER

To leverage the impact of white poinsettias, mass the artificial
blooms on an inexpensive, easy-to-assemble tabletop tree. Tall
and slender, the poinsettia-covered tree draws attention as the
centerpiece of any vignette. An unfinished wood pedestal as a
trunk applies a subtle sense of natural texture.

CARD GAMES

Laser-cut greeting cards showcase intricate winter and holiday

scenes. Use those cutouts to create your own three-dimensional

diorama. With two identical cards, a plain shadow box, paint,

and trim, you can design a charming accent for a mantel, shelf,

or niche. Make a few to have on hand for last-minute gifts.
