this is a close up of the greens I put together for the windows......they came from the acreage out behind the farmhouse here.....the long needles were easy, but the short needled boughs that make up the basis of the garland were mean and nasty, I wore gloves to do the work....yee-oche!!!

but for just a little effort, I think they add a lot....I made 2, one for each living room window
