Now that milder weather is finally here in the Midwest it is time to start thinking about decorating for the spring season. As I mentioned in previous posts, I always start my seasonal and holiday decorations by decorating the exterior of our house. This year I decided to make a new Spring Door Decoration. I really loved the artificial tulips that I used last year for a floral arrangement in our kitchen and decided I wanted to use those flowers again for a front door decoration. I choose an easy design that needed just a few supplies, there was no hot glue or flower foam used, and it took under half an hour to make.
Spring Door Decoration – supplies
- Triangle shaped hanging wall container
- 5 white artificial tulips
- 5 purple artificial tulips
- Several bunches of small white flowers
- Several bunches of small purple flowers
Spring Door Decoration – instructions
- Remove all pricing and labels from container and flowers.
- Arrange the small white and purple flower bunches in the container. (The flowers that I used were the perfect length for the container so no stem cutting was required and no floral foam was needed to keep them in place)
- Cut each individual white and purple tulip stem to a length that is several inches longer than the length of the container, when the tulips are placed in the container they should gracefully arch into a pleasing arrangement. (When I arranged the tulips in the container I tried to alternate the colors of white and purple)
- When you are satisfied with the arrangement, hang the container from a hook or nail on a door. (The container I used had a decorative loop at the top, so it was very easy to hang on the existing nail on our front door)
The Spring Door Decoration was so easy to make and I really like the way it turned out! I think it looks beautiful hanging on our front door, the color of the container and the flowers are a wonderful contrast to the dark wood of the door and it sets a very festive Spring touch for our visitors to see when they come for our Easter celebration.
