Place your leafless Christmas Rose with its pot in the centre of a larger decorative bowl. Make sure there is enough space between pot and bowl rim to accommodate decoration material. Choose a decorative bowl that is not too large to provide the flowers with an appropriate frame that prevents them from looking lost.

Fill the gap between the rims with moss and also spread some moss underneath the flowers to cover the pot rim.

Place small pieces of branches on the moss. Use short pieces that do not protrude over the bowl rim. Create a "neat" arrangement that virtually looks like a framed clipping from the forest ground and leaves enough room for both the decorative bowl and the flowers.

Add the pinecones at random. Less is more in this case to allow moss and twigs to come into their own. You also want to avoid creating a regular pattern. In the forest, cones do not fall to the ground at identical distances either.

Add festive decoration elements for a more Christmasy spirit. We chose muted, earthy colours that suit the forest theme and create a beautiful contrast with the white Christmas Rose flowers. If you prefer an all-natural look, just go without the Christmas decoration.

Multi-variant and variable: create your own personal Christmas decorations by combining very few elements.
