Handmade Burlap Wreaths and My First Spring Festival

Well, tomorrow is the big day!   I'll be hosting a booth at a Spring festival, at a local antique mall.   I've been busy preparing for it this week and wanted to share a few of the wreaths that I made for the festival.

Spring Daffodil Watering Can Centerpiece

Here in South Carolina we have been super blessed with warmer temps these last few days.   It definitely makes it feel like Spring, especially when daffodils are blooming everywhere.   I brought a little spring indoors today by creating a centerpiece using daffodils, a rustic wood tray and a few thrifted watering cans.    

 

 

I found this set of three cute watering cans last fall

and purchased them to use this spring.

 

Springtime Floral Wreath in Galvanized Container

I've finished up a couple more of those projects that I had started last week. I seem to have been on a red and black kick.   I'll be sharing those projects soon, but not today.   Today I wanted to share a little more Spring inspiration!  

I'm a sucker for anything galvanized,

so when I found these containers for 80% off last summer I grabbed four of them.

Burlap Easter Spring Wreath with Nest and Eggs

I was so inspired last week by the burlap wreaths that Sharon from Elizabeth & Co. created that I had to make one!   Sharon has been nicknamed "The Queen of Wreaths" and if you check out her blog you will see why.     I just happened to see her Spring wreath post a few hours before I was heading to Michaels. Talk about perfect timing!    

 

 

Handmade Rustic Spring Nest Decor

If only I could walk away from Pinterest more often.

This is what happened when I forced myself to leave the computer today.

I decided to make my own rustic version of the following nest from MarthaStewart.com

I had a handmade pine needle nest, a few turquoise eggs and some moss already in my craft stash, so it was off to the woods to find a few small branches. Once I chose three branches and cut them to the length I liked, I wired them together with green floral wire.

Then I hot glued the branches together under the wire and glued moss around the wire to cover it. I also hot glued the nest in place between the three branches and added a little moss, faux leaves and spring flowers.

So here's my rustic version. What do you think?

'til next time
