snowfriends
3 snowfriends on a bed of greenery with candy canes, lollipops and candy garland.
Center glass bowl holds bulbs, candy, cookies or candle.
This is easier than it looks. I used a charger plate, very inexpensive but durable, turned it up side down and glued a pre-made greenery wreath on to the plate. I added three snowman tree ornaments, evenly spaced around the wreath. If you want lights, this is the time to add a small string of battery operated LED lights. Hide the mechanism in the greenery. I used faux lights that come as a garland, then added a few round bulbs. Scattered a few snowflakes, then glued in faux candy canes and lollipops. A faux candy garland finishes the wreath. The center contains a 6 inch glass bowl that I've filled with bulbs but would be great with just about anything.

Joy of Winter
Altrusa Intl. of Santa Maria Extravaganza Tree
Days of flocking attaching lights and making ornaments only to have the tree topper light batteries die in mid-showing!!! Note to self, be sure to have fresh batteries!

Joy of Winter detail
This was a very big challenge! The tree was constructed in a way that each branch was merely laying in place. Every time the tree was moved or lifted, half of the branches would become dis-lodged! Had to shrink wrap the entire tree to transport it to the venue. Only two ornaments fell off!
I'm melting!
