Make table decorations for communion/confirmation yourself – this is how you make a fish out of boxwood
Cut the branches of the
boxwood
all to the same length, about
two inches
, and remove the leaves at the bottom of the stem.
Take a
60 centimeter long
aluminum wire and bend it into a long strand.
Then wrap some
myrtle wire around
one end of the strand - about an inch apart - and twist the end.
Then grab three boxwood branches and wrap them on the decorative wire using the myrtle wire.
Repeat this procedure until you reach the other end of the deco wire.
The fish is particularly beautiful for table decorations on the occasion of communion or confirmation if the
boxwood is tied evenly in all places
.
Finally, knot the myrtle wire at the other end of the decorative wire so that nothing can unravel.
Protruding remains can be cut off with
secateurs
.
Now bend the wire into a
fish
.
The intersections of the wire ends can be tied together with a ribbon.
Store
the self-made table decoration for communion or confirmation in a
cool place
, then the boxwood will stay nice and fresh until the big day.
