All three picks are made of three plastic pine branches, three green man-made fiber holly leaves, one pine cone tinged with gold paint, one red rose with petals outlined in gold paint, and one bunch of berries painted red and gold.

All of the Christmas picks have green plastic covered wire stems that are either of snap together construction or glued.

Samples are being returned as requested.
