It's all stick based with that colored acrylic pieces. The balls can hang in gold ribbon attached or out them in the table, in a bowl or apothecary jar, or attach to your banister or mantel garland. They've never been used here...got rid of all my red, purple, blue, and green? Christmas decor. Brown is up now. I will have silver and neon ribbon.
Balls WERE $8 each for $40 and I don't remember how much the wreath was. Will do whole pile for $20. Good with rustic, copper, even silver decor. Nonsmoker home.
