Spring Flowers

Good Morning :)  My family and I just returned from a wonderful little Spring Break getaway.  It was not the best weather, but still so nice to have a little reprieve from the day to day.  I’m feeling rested and motivated to get my house all Spring cleaned and freshened up…starting with my front door.

For something a little different I decided on a spring planter.

I used an iron wall basket, but you could use a wicker basket or even find something more unique like a watering can or metal planter.

  

I put in foam blocks covered with moss {using wire and hot glue to secure the moss to the foam} and then just added in my (4) little flowering bushes.  Bushes like this are great to use because they are so forgiving.  You can insert them at different angles to have the flowers fall slightly over the edge. I wanted a full wild flower look…I may even go get some more to add in.

To add some rustic charm I tied a strip of burlap around the base of the iron basket.  This also helps hold the moss all in.  I purposely left the frays and strings of the burlap to give off a carefree natural feel.

There you have it…A super quick and simple project that gives color and interest to your front door.  I hope my tips help you to create your own.

Getting linky!!
