We ahl appreciated the pointers sucli as to be careful to place the candies away from other tlings in the arrangement tu cuver the wires of decorative birds with floral tape and to split the ends of greenery tu keep them from moving or twisting around. In a mantel arrangement with a mirror or glass behind it, it's important to complete the arrangement all round.
