Douglas fir * 2 bunches of seeded eucalyptus * 1 bunch of magnolia tips * 4 yards of wired metallic ribbon **Instructions** 1. Fill your hanging basket with soil. 2. Layer in evergreen boughs. Remember to drape boughs over the basket’s rim as the focus will be on the sides rather than the top once it is hung. 3. Insert decorative elements. 4. Cut ribbon into two-foot lengths and secure to basket by twisting one end around boughs. Curl the other ends into large loops.
