Bring the beauty of nature into your holiday decorating by creating this beautiful arrangement made from painted cattails and fresh greens. Choose a container that complements your color scheme and display the arrangement as a centerpiece or as an entry bouquet.

	Blue glitter makes these natural wonders shimmer like snow.

• Cattails
• Decoupage medium
• Small paintbrush
• Glitter in desired color
• Greens
• Large vase or pail
• Ribbon
• Christmas ornament

1. To make the cattails glitter, paint a coat of decoupage medium on the cattail head.

2. Sprinkle glitter on the head and let it dry. The decoupage medium will also act as a sealant and prevent the heads from popping.

3. Arrange the cattails with greens in a large vase or pail.

4. Tie a ribbon and an ornament around the container. You can add water to the container to keep the greens fresher, but the cattails require no water.
