Oh, and for scent: I sometimes go to Christmas tree lots. Usually they trim the tree for buyers. Often they trim off the lower branches, and they'll give them to you for no charge. I make swags for walls and centerpieces for tables. It gives the scent and little work. Things like this are easy to make
