Cut the desired foliage and berries and soak them in water overnight. While not always necessary, you can spray them with a coat of fire-resistant spray to keep them fresh and prevent possible issues with fires when placed near heat sources. The color and berries typically last awhile and dried pices can be replaced as needed.
