About this Course

Fashion a lovely, heirloom home décor piece perfect for Holiday decorating! Beginning with a 5" x 12" styrofoam cone, we will apply roses cut from a gorgeous textile and glitter all of the edges, creating a stunning, sparkly, romantic topiary.

Decorated with large silver bead ornaments and a star topper, your glittered tree will be right at home in the vessel of your choice. An urn, vase, cachepot, or pedestal... any one of these will be the perfect complement to your creation.

About the instructor

A Gilded Life

A Gilded Life Debbie Murray and Shea Fragoso are the mother/daughter team behind the design company, A Gilded Life.

Creating their signature style mixed-media projects in a loft-style warehouse in historic Santa Ana, California, the duo can often be found on the less-traveled back streets and in the dusty warehouses of long-forgotten specialty businesses, curating the offerings of their studio and procuring beautiful items for their web and retail shops. Other days will find them collaborating on samples for their line of A Gilded Life licensed gift, jewelry, and home decor products with Demdaco/Silvestri, or perhaps dreaming up their next online workshop!
