DIY Day - Fake Flower Makeover

DIY Day @ ASPTL





I love making things over, from furniture to Christmas cards to making use out of old clothes. However, this is my first time participating in DIY Day. As much as I love gardening, and don't have trouble keeping things alive outside, I can't keep anything alive inside my house, so I decided to create a few "fake florals" for my home.


A couple of weeks ago I purchased two floral arragements from the thrift store. The flowers were pretty enough and the containers were cute, but they were too formal for something I would have in my house. 2 days ago, I ran over to JoAnns for the 70% off spring floral's sale and ended up with some materials to "makeover" this arrangement.


BEFORE



AFTER


I placed a little bird nest with two "eggs" into the moss, and glued a tiny Momma bird to the end of a twig from the tree in my backyard.

Have a blessed day!

  1. I love the height on your centerpiece. That is the exact drama I need and have no room for in my apartment!

  3. That looks great. I love the nest. Where did you get the "eggs"? I am thinking of adding a nest to my living room.
