Holly is one of my most favorite holiday greens . . . but it is also the one that I do not like to design with. Sounds funny, right?
Holly tips have very sharp, needle-like points on the pointed edges of each leaf.
They have to be handled with care or they can scratch or prick your fingers so much that it actually draws blood!
Just take care and use in small quantities that will give your designs an expensive look!
I'm going to add a couple more pieces of greens and then we'll be ready to begin to flower in the design.
