For the perfect holiday tablescape, try this gorgeous centerpiece by Rebecca Shepherd.

DIY TOPIARY CENTERPIECE

What you need:

Long-stemmed flowers (we chose lilies because of their dramatic shape and color)

Green foliage and smaller flowers in a complementary color for the base

Square vase

Wet foam (can be found at any local craft store)

Optional: ivy

What you do: 

1. Soak the foam in water until all the bubbles come out.

2. Cut the foam to fit tightly into your vase.

3. Take a lily stem in your left hand (if you’re a righty), then add in stems crossing from the back at a 45 degree angle and turning before each addition.

4. Once you’ve added in all your flowers, tie the neck together with some raffia, twine, or wire.

5. Cut the stems to the desired length, and carefully guide the stems down into the center of the wet foam.

6. Next, add in some foliage to cover most of the foam, and place your secondary flower (above, we used yellow mums) in the base wherever desired.

7. For a final touch of pizzazz, just clip some ivy and wrap it around the middle!
