Okay anywho, I needed a tall "something" to place on top and was coming up empty. Then while browsing Martha Stewart's website I saw some wedding flowers made from tissue paper. Brilliant!
So, I took some bright blue tissue paper and with an Easter bush in mind created this...
Not over the top but just enough "pop" to make it a perfect - and it looks great next to my new thrifted vintage hat box.
I loved the outcome! It is so cheery and - bonus - I don't have to water them and they will never die=)
To create your own here is what you will need:
- Hot glue gun
- Tissue paper cut into small squares
-Branches
I first crumpled the squares of tissue paper to give it more depth
Then I flattened it out a little and grabbed the middle and "fluffed" out and up.
Add a little dab of hot glue (this is a little blurry because I was rushing to take the picture and get the flower on before it dried!)
And place on the branches...
repeat until your branch is full!
I also did little ones to look like buds=)
It was the perfect touch to my new fabulous living room. Sigh...love!Make your life beautiful!
LOVE IT MELISSA!!
