A poinsettia in a handcrafted bowl made of nuts and cones makes a pretty table centrepiece and a great gift idea for anyone who loves nature. This rustic DIY container is quick and easy to make. You will need a poinsettia, potting compost, a polystyrene bowl, hazelnuts and walnuts, cones, a hot glue gun and glue sticks, moss, mossing pins, cord and a decorative wooden star. Here’s how to make it: Use the mossing pins to attach the moss to the outside of the polystyrene bowl. Next, glue nuts and cones close together onto the moss, fill the bowl with the compost and plant the poinsettia in it. Finally, attach the decorative star to the arrangement with the cord. Done!
