Pomegranate Holiday Centerpiece
Gather your materials in two stages:
1. Ribbon, vases, dried + tools
2. Fresh the day before so they can drink overnight
Gather ahead of time
Start collecting these weeks (or even months) ahead. Most of them will find a home in your flower cabinet and come out again and again.
