Holiday Planter

.
This weekend I put together a holiday planter for my front porch.  It's not as exciting as the Chicago sidewalk planters my sister posted on her site, but I still like it!
.
Here's what you'll need:
- Planter with dirt
- Pine boughs (mine came from the bottom of my Christmas tree; they were the ones I needed to cut off in order for my tree to fit in the stand!)
- Branches
- Red berry branches
.

.
Here's the empty planter:
.

.
First add the pine boughs around the base of the planter.

.
Next add in the branches.  I bundled mine together and stuck them right in the center of the planter.
.

.
Add the berry branches just above the pine boughs.
.

.
That's it!  It's a fast, easy, and inexpensive ourdoor decoration.  I usually make one of these each winter - the pine boughs will easily last in the planter for a couple of months.
