The soft green background of cedar forms a perfect frame for the silver white pussy willow blossoms.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/div><\/div>\n  <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<h4>Get Started<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Determine how many pieces of cedar and twigs of pussy willow you will need.<\/li>\n<li>Check to be sure any lose pieces are sniped off before you start.<\/li>\n<li>Let your hot glue gun come up to temperature.<\/li>\n<li>Pick up a cedar sprig and try it for fit.<\/li>\n<li>Working carefully but quickly apply a few drops of hot glue to the bottom of the cedar sprig<\/li>\n<li>Quickly press the sprig into place and hold it firm for a few seconds while the glue sets.<\/li>\n<li>Finish the cedar before starting the pussy willows.<\/li>\n<li>Glue the pussy willow twigs in place using the same method as you did for the cedar.<\/li>\n<li>When you are finished go back and check for loose pieces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  Remember the hot glue sets as it cools so work quickly but remember its hot.<\/p>\n<p>        Always follow the manufactures recommendations when using any electrical appliance.<\/p>\n<p>        Store these in a cool dark place until the event and transport them in a single layer.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/fivecedars.com\/decorated-gift-boxes\/\"
