Happy Spring! We have been taking advantage of the amazing warm, sunshiny weather as much as possible. The bad news is, with Spring comes allergies.
I don't know about you, but my kids and I suffer from seasonal allergies in a bad way. My poor husband has to put up with our sniffles and watery eyes a lot. But I love flowers! I love the aroma they spread in the air and how vibrant their colors are. But they are not allowed in the house until the pollen reduces.
So, instead of bringing the "real" pretty flowers inside, I am making my own flower assortment to display in my home. This is a super simple project using the ever so yummy Enchanted Power® Palette. The vibrant, bold colors of this collection is absolutely beautiful, just like "real" Spring flowers.
To make the project, I simply used a hot glue gun to adhere the flowers back-to-back on skewer sticks, layered each with smaller flowers and adorned with bling.
Wrap the paper ribbons and title sticker around a small glass jar for decoration or leave blank. Fill jar up with colorful shredded papers and that's it!
It's a great way to brighten up any desk, window seal, book shelf in your home or office. Would even make a great teachers gift. Mine sits on a shelf above my computer desk. I love it there and it adds a lot of color since my shelves are dark.
I hope you are enjoying the beautiful sunshine where you live this month. Happy Spring!
you are so cute! and so are those paper flowers. so fun!
