Finally spring is on the horizon! Sometimes I feel like I’ll hardly be able to shake winter after feeling cold all those months. Alas, the flowers still bloom and the birds return. The return of that life is exciting and there seems to be an anticipation in the air for flurries of color after the snow. Spring craft ideas have begun to tickle our fancy as we dust off the winter chill and think about the ooos and ahhhs of a new season. Onward, to spring!
Papier-mâché Vase
Paper flower crafts are coming! Where to put them, you say? In a Papier-mâché Vase of course! Funky is our forte and this vase is no exception. You’ll want to plan a few days ahead to make sure everything has ample time to dry properly. Then decorate away to keep those lovely paper flowers contained – or make the vase as a stand alone piece to give the room some character!
Also take a look at our DIY papier mâché cake stand, when you can’t get enough of this papery goodness!
Royal Wedding Floral Tea Party
No royal weddings on the horizon that we’re aware of, but that’s certainly no excuse to turn down a tea party! Inspired by the royal wedding a few years ago, we couldn’t resist this themed Royal Wedding Floral Tea Party. Change it up and host a spring variation! If the weather is still a bit nippy outside, you can always bring the fun inside while sporting a nice warm cup of tea. Cheers!
