Final Result

Materials

• 30cm tall cylinder vase
• small cylinder vase that fits inside 30cm vase
• ruscus spray - olive
• wire cutters
• metal skewer or long stick

Step 1

Wash and dry both vases and carefully place smaller vase inside larger vase. Cut 2 long stems from the leaf spray using wire cutters. Bend each stem into a spiral shape and turn each leaf to face outwards. Place each stem in between the two vases, placing the base of stems on opposites sides of the vases. Adjust stems to wind around the inner vase finishing just below the top of large vase. Using a skewer or stick adjust any leaf that may have turned wrong way around. Leave vase as is or fill inner vase with water and add flowers, foliage or a floating candle.

Note

* We have used artificial leaves for this project but real leaves or flowers can be used instead.
