On my walk home from a sandwich last weekend, I spied some overgrown holly hedges outside an abandoned hotel and used my trusty pocket knife to prune a big branch. I took the branch home and stuck it in an old lamp base. Ta da! A seasonal flower arrangement that doesn't need water and won't turn brown for weeks.
I lucked out: this lamp base looks sort of like a snowy evergreen tree or pinecone.
DIY Simple, Season-long Flower Arrangement
1 lamp base with shade and guts removed1 big-ish holly branch
Pruning shears, knife, saw; as needed
Prune/trim the branch and leaves as needed to fit and remain standing in the lamp base without tipping over. Alternately, this could also work with a naked branch which could then be spray painted any color or texture (glitter), decorated with tiny ornaments, lit with tiny LED lights, and/or without any adornment be a nice decorative piece any time.
