Before the week comes to an end, I wanted to share a project that I just did recently.
I am working on the rest of my Spring decor now and, once again, I am changing the look of decor items I already had.
I normally don't decorate with pink, but I thought this year I try something different.
It is not quite finished yet, since I still want to add some ribbon or embellishment to the vases.
This is a very easy project, but very time consuming.
As long as you have about three hours of free time to cut, cut, cut, you are good to go. :)
I did start with spray painting the vases I used for Christmas on my mantle. Remember those?
I used "Heirloom white" because I already had it on hand.
I also used the same branches only I painted them in a darker bronze color.
I had a bunch of tissue paper from Dollar Tree and I just used the two different shades of pink.
Now, to make the flowers, I made myself a little template with cardboard paper because I am not very good at cutting. :)
As you can see, even the template is not perfect, but it didn't matter, it still worked out just fine.
I cut several small pieces of tissue paper, used my little template to cut the shape of the flower, placed the two different colors together, pinch and twist the ends, add a little drop of hot glue and start attaching to your branches.
And this is what the finished product looks like.
I made two of them which I hope to be able to incorporate with my Spring decor
once I finish adding a little pretty to the vases.
What do you think?
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
We are expecting rain, which we need badly, so I think this weekend is going to be used to finish some indoor projects.
Thank you for stopping by!

What a great idea! You are so clever.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your first photo, I thought that was a real branch of blossoms! It wasn't until I scrolled down to the rest of the post that I realized it was tissue paper. What a beautiful project, Maria Elena. More than worth the time.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Laurel, I thought it was a real plant in the first photo! That looks amazing, Maria Elena! Easy, but time consuming -- I seem to take on a lot of projects like that!
