Now comes the time to start flowering in your Christmas tree design. Cut your stems down a little shorter and insert into the tree at a downward angle like you did the greenery.
Always angle downward and start at the top.
Insert deeply into the foam.
Turn the tree around , staggering the carnations evenly around the tree.
Let the flowers extend slightly out of the tree to give a dimensional look.
You can use all red - or even a mixture of different colored miniature carnations. They are available in red, yellow, white, green, pink and purple.
