Make a Hanukkah Table Setting

Hydrangeas add a touch of blue to your holiday table.

Keep it simple with silver, white, and blue. The plates are adorned with a votive filled with blue foil wrapped candies and a silver star made from craft foam and aluminum AC duct tape attached to a blue ribbon.

For the floral arrangement you will need: Tropical leaves/ mini trifle bowls/ hydrangea blooms/ scissors/ blue ribbon/ double stick tape/ water.

Cut away a section of the tropical leaf long enough to curl inside the bowl and wide enough to fill the bowl from top to bottom. Do not include the rigid center part.

Fill the bowl with water. Curl the leaf section with the most rigid part on the inside. Place the curled leaf section inside the bowl and position it to cover the walls of the bowl.

Cut the stem of the hydrangea about 3-4 inches from the bottom of the bloom. Remove any leaves.

Place the bloom in the bowl to determine how much to trim it. Remove the bloom and trim away any excess, leaving enough for the stem to touch the bottom and leave the petals resting just above the rim of the bowl.

Cut a length of ribbon long enough to wrap around the bowl near the top. Make a small bow with another piece of ribbon and attach it with double stick tape and another small piece of ribbon at the center of the long ribbon. Wrap the long ribbon and bow around the bowl and secure it with double stick tape on the back of the bowl.
