Please help! I have searched high and low for a red berry stem (like Ilex) that I can use for an outdoor wreath. I don't have access to natural berries and I know the foam ones will disintegrate with the first rain. I guess that might mean plastic, which in this case I am not too proud to use. I have developed an obsession to have a red berry wreath for outdoors. I have plenty of Nandina, but the stems are floppy and not strong enough to stick out in a spray. The Nandina berries will also fall off fairly easily. I have thought about using beads to make the stems but it would take forever. Any ideas for my dilemma would be appreciated so very, very much!
