step 1Natural raffia comes in its own already-tied bunch. Take the raffia and cut off one end to make square and even.
step 2Tie a rubber band 4-5 inches in from the end to make a tassel.
step 3Lay out the raffia and lightly spray water over the entire piece to make more pliable.
step 4Separate 3 equal amounts of raffia and braid in thirds, starting from the rubber band, to the desired length, and finish off with a tassel per instructions in step 2.
step 5Push a stub wire across and through the base of each clementine, from one side to the other. Attach to the raffia braid. Hide any ends.
step 6Cut the red berries, creating small bunches, and tie the stems together with stub wire. Using the remaining wire, secure the berries around the raffia braid at intervals around the clementines.
step 7Take an Antique Hydrangea flower ball and subdivide into smaller bunches. Then wrap the stems with stub wire and attach per instructions in step 6.
Note:
Depending on the freshness of the clementines, this swag should last, in room temperature, for at least 2 weeks. The Antique Hydrangea will dry out but will remain looking fresh. Rozebottel and other berries might shrink a little but will still retain their color and style. When you buy the clementines, make sure they are extra fresh and firm.
