Re: winter centerpieces

How about white flowers for the CP's. any kind.

So you get the styrofoam and make lots of medium sized snowflakes. Then you get one of those green things that are sort of styrofoamy too. Get one that is shaped like a cone. then paint the green white and spray it with silvery white sprinkled paint. Glue all the snowflakes onto the cone and spray those really good with the sprinkled paint. When it's all dried, take the flowers, real or silk, and randomly stick them in between the snowflakes. The lightly spray them for the effect. I don't have a pic bc I just made it up off the top of my head.

You can also use something like this...maybe with white branches and poinsettias or something around the bottom.
