Spring Topiary Video

I've had a blast making spring decorations and  different topiarys. You can check out a different topiary (meaning different than the one I'm going to show you how to make today)  here, my spring door decoration here, and my birdhouses here. It's like I have Spring Crafting fever or something...ha...let's be honest...I always have crafting fever!  I'm so excited to introduce my second tutorial! I got such a great response from my first video that we're onto number two!

HOW TO MAKE A SPRING TOPIARY

Watch at YouTube here

A couple little side notes for you after watching the video...

-Cricut Cartridge Straight from the Nest p. 53 layer/shadow is the flower I used at 1 inch (not 1 inches..ha! my dad was laughing at me about that!)

-I also hit autofill before cutting the flowers

- If you don't have a cricut or the Straight From the Nest cartridge, I found a paper punch at JoAnn's online that is the same exact flower I used and guess what?...It's on sale right now for $5.99 here it is:

                                                                      

-They also have the fun fur in green 

 ...this is what the packaging looks like and this is the color 

-Here's the wreath I made last year that I talked about in the video

I hope I was able to teach you or inspire you today!

Patches of Pink Spring Themed Project

Jalisa at Patches of Pink asked the design team to come up with a Spring themed project. I LOVE spring colors! I also have been in love with pedestals lately. You might remember the candy jars I created that were vases on pedestals. If not, you can check them out here. Therefore, I decided to create birdhouses and yes, you guessed it on pedestals!

Supplies:
wooden birdhouses (I found at the $1 section at Michaels), acrylic paint, glass candlesticks (found at the $ store)

How to:
1. Spray paint candlesticks (they may need a couple of coats). Allow them to dry
2. Paint birdhouses
3. I will be using the candlesticks for other decorations so I didn't glue them on but if you would like them to be stuck on the candlesticks then use E6000 to stick them on.
4. Enjoy!

I hope you link up with us over at Patches of Pink. You have until April 1st!

Have a Super day!

Smiles,

Jill
