Add Another Layer
Give your stocking or sideboard a bit of extra sparkle with a tassel that’s subtly fragrant too. Start by gathering five magnolia leaves, two other kinds of evergreens (we used cypress and pine), spiral eucalyptus, and a cluster of berries. Position the grouping so the magnolia acts as the backdrop; this will give the arrangement structure. When you like the look, secure the base of the stems with florist tape. Wrap a piece of ribbon around the tape, knotting it off once the bottoms of the stems have been almost completely covered. Use the loose ends to create a loop large enough to fit over your stocking holder, drawer pull, or knob. Knot again to secure, and then let the tails hang down. Trim them so they hit just above the end of the greenery for a hint of movement and a soft touch.
