Sun Hat Spring Wreath

I think it’s confirmed, I have a serious addiction to creating wreaths for my front door! I find so much enjoyment doing it and it’s a great way for me to embellish my creativity! The wreath I’m going to share with you today is a simple, yet super adorable Spring/Summer time wreath for the front door! Just in time for you to make on for yourself and for those special Mom’s in your life! These would make a great Mother’s Day gift!

I spotted a simple, straw sun hate while at Michael’s on day. I snatched it up with every intention of turning it into some sort of wreath for the door. While at Michael’s I also glanced at the faux flowers. I opted for a gorgeous, full peony bloom (two stems). Once I was home I simply popped off the heads of the flowers and glued them to the hat using my hot glue gun. I made a sweet little bow using polka- dot burlap ribbon I already had, and glue it into place as well. I took a piece of jute creating a loop and glued it to the back of the hat so it can effortlessly hang on the door hook. And that is it! Can you believe how simple this darling project is? As I suggested earlier, they would make great little gifts for Mother’s Day, and that just might be what I will be giving this year 😉

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out this project with me!

Teacup Blooms

I know for me, one of my favorite gifts is one I can continuously enjoy. This year for Mothers Day the kids made and decorated bird houses for our Nana and my mother in law, but I wanted to give a little something special! We were going to be hosting a bbq on Mothers Day and I wanted to have something to give each Mom, so I headed to the local thrift store in search for teacups! I scored 7 di-cut glass cups for $1.49, score!!! Next, I headed for the local garden center in search for flowers! I opted for an eye-catching, small bloom, cockscomb. They were bright, beautiful and dainty enough to fit perfectly into the cup!

To start, add a small amount of soil to the bottom of the cup, remove the flower and roots from container, hold into place and fill with soil. I pressed my down to eliminate loose soil and to keep the plant in place. Water each day, making sure the soil is moist. I sat mine on the kitchen window sill where it will get plenty of sun and I can enjoy it 🙂

For the gifts, I used a small tag and wrote “true love blossoms…”; I hope they enjoy watching this flower bloom all summer long!
