With Christmas comes the season of merriment and gift giving. Gift giving is an integral part of Christmas; that is the exciting time when people present each other gifts.

This tradition has gained popularity slowly in the wake of commercialization when people were ready to purchase costly gifts for friends and family members.

According to a myth, it was flowers from two homeless boys that outweighed all the splendid presents got by the three wise men traveling far to see the newly born Jesus Christ. This is why Christmas flowers nosegay is considered to be an ideal Christmas gift.

Flower nosegays are just a bunch of blooms tied together in an attractive way. You can purchase these bouquets of natural flowers from flower shops. However, creating an artificial one your own would be very interesting.

You will need:
•    Two round colorful laces about 6 inches long
•    Two green leave shaped paper laces
•    Pencil, Paper clip, glue, a pair of scissors
•    Green card stock
•    Hole punch
•    1-2 inch green pipe cleaner.

Method:
•    Lay a colorful lace flat on the palm of your hand.
•    Hit the eraser end of a pencil into its center and gather up the lace into a ruffle.
•    Go on with the 2nd lace.
•    Position one ruffled lace on top of the other to form the flower.
•    Wrap the laces with one end of the pipe cleaner. If you wish a stronger bond, wrap tightly one or two times, adding glue to the doilies and go on to wrapping over the glue. Let the glue dry.
•    Cut a heart-shaped leaf from green card stock. With a Hole punch make a hole next to the bottom. Put down your message on the leaf. Slide the pipe cleaner stem through the hole adding a dot of glue where the leaf rests against the stem.
