I heard about this from a guy I work with and was wondering if it would be possible or even acceptable to make it as a gift to hang on the door and not just a graveside decoration. If you would can you email me step by step instructions with a photo please. Thank You Debbie B Every year I try to come up with ideas for gifts that nobody has seen in our family before.

It might take a little extra maneuvering to get it into the shape of a grave blanket. For the ribbon and the pine cones, try your local florist or craft shop. Just make sure you get outdoor ribbon.

I am trying to get the supplies together to make one for my grandfather who passed Christmas Eve 2003. My mom usually buys one, but she has moved quite a distance away. Thank you very much!

The bushy the branches the less you will have to use. A good number to start with would be six long branches with several lateral branches - usually pine or fir. With holly you will need twice as many. Amberleigh,
