To fill a nice christmas bowl or plate i go to the local wood and collect pines and anything that i think will go along side them . I then use almonds with their shells on and place all these outside on a piece of newspaper . Take a can of gold spray paint and spray each piece until well coated . When dry dab lightly with clove and manderin oil and leave tied in a clean plastic bag for a day . You can then display in a christmas bowl and as well as looking christmasy they will make your room smell beautiful .
