tephanie Madsen came up with the idea of creating outdoor ice ornaments as a way to memorialize her grandmother. Using a bundt pan, she placed flowers and greenery from floral arrangements that had been sent to her after her grandmother’s death, and then added herbs, fruits and veggies. Then she added water and froze the ornament to hang for winter.
