List of Ingredients

Materials Needed:
Artificial or natural pine greens and pinecones
Small gold plastic balls
Gold string beads
Freezer-safe container with smooth, straight sides
Distilled water
Tea light candles in clear containers
Edged tray to hold centerpiece
Fresh greens



Recipe

Place greens, pinecones, gold balls and beads in a freezer-safe container, using enough so they stay in place when water is added and arranging them so they touch the sides of the container.



Carefully add distilled water to within 1 in. of the top of the container. Float tea lights on top of the water. Place on a flat surface in the freezer; freeze for several days or until solid.

About 15 minutes before unmolding, remove the container from the freezer. Let stand at room temperature until ice releases from the sides of container.


Trim or fold a paper towel so it is a bit smaller than the centerpiece and place on tray. Place the centerpiece on top of paper towel to keep it from sliding. Add fresh greens around the base of the centerpiece. Remove water from the tray as needed.
