How to Make a Festive Hanging Basket with Poinsettias and Greenery

How to Make a Festive Hanging Basket with Poinsettias and GreeneryImagine stepping onto your porch and spotting a cardinal resting in a lush holiday basket brimming with holly and pine.

This planter idea draws on nature’s own palette such as deep green leaves, ruby-red berries, and a pop of poinsettia.

It feels like the season’s beauty was gathered right outside and woven into a welcoming ornament.

Materials Needed

  • 1 round hanging wicker basket (12-14” diameter)
  • Fresh or faux evergreen branches (8-10 stems)
  • 2-3 faux poinsettia stems (red, large blooms)
  • 5-6 sprigs of artificial holly with berries
  • 3 pinecones (frosted or natural)
  • 1 decorative red cardinal bird pick
  • Floral foam insert or moss
  • Twine or rope hangers (pre-attached)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Line the basket with moss or floral foam to hold your arrangement securely.

Step 2: Begin by tucking evergreen stems evenly around the edges to create a full, circular base. Let a few cascade down slightly for a natural drape.

Step 3: Insert poinsettia stems into the center of the basket. Then space them out so their bold blooms stand out among the greens.

Step 4: Add holly sprigs with berries, weaving them between the poinsettias and evergreens for festive pops of red.

Step 5: Place pinecones in balanced spots, securing them with floral wire if needed.

Step 6: Finish by attaching the decorative cardinal near the front, giving your planter a lively, heartwarming focal point.

Note:

To make it extra enchanting, weave a small strand of battery-operated fairy lights into the basket, turning it into a glowing ornament by night.
