Potted Spring Flowers

By 19 Comments

Have you decorated for Spring yet? I decided on St. Patrick’s Day that the green decor was coming down and I was getting the Spring and Easter decor out.  Once I had it all out, I thought I need a couple more small things to add to it, so I went and picked some up!  Are these small potted Spring flowers not the cutest!?

Of course I headed to The Wood Connection to find these. I decided that I would try to find some paper to use from my very large stash, rather than picking up some more. All of the paper that I used is Echo Park, but it isn’t all from one line. 🙂
For this large flower, I painted the flower center and the outside of the flower yellow, then I painted everything else white.

Before the yellow paint dried on the flower center, I dipped it in glitter.  Glitter makes everything more fun, doesn’t it?  Also, I decided right at the end to dry brush some pink from the other flower, onto the edges of the yellow.  I love what it adds.

For the pot, I couldn’t pass up putting paper on the beadboard, it is one my favorite things to do to add a little bit more pop of color.  To finish the pot off after all the paper was on, I tied the ribbon on.

Isn’t the shape of the small flower, just so cute?!  I love it!  I decided to go pink for this cute flower, and I love polka dots, so you can’t go wrong with those.  I mixed my own paint to get the perfect shade of pink for the flower edges, painted the center a turquoise color that I have, and then everything else was painted white on this one as well.  I love the orange patterned paper that I found to use for the pot.  I think it’s a fun one.  Once I had this one all put together, I just finished it off by tying some green ribbon around the stem.

So what do you think?  Does this make you wish you had some fun Potted Spring Flowers too?  I think these are sure going to brighten my day, every time I see them!

    Amy these are adorable! I think I have a wood set I bought from Wood Connections last year that I never finished – I need to get these out and put them together! So cute!

    These flowers are perfect for me. I tend to kill everything else because I forget to water them 🙂 Whoops! I know our readers would love this, too. We have a weekly link up party going on now (Thursdays), and we would love to see this post and/or any others you would like to share at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you soon!
