Decorating for Spring with Stampin’ Up!

As promised, I’m going to share another way I’ve been thinking outside the box with Stampin’ Up! lately.

I purchased some new furniture for the entryway of our house at the end of last summer, and I have been enjoying decorating it with each new season!  I’m going a little more simple for spring. I’ll just share pictures of the one area, but be assured there is a handmade wreath, flower arrangement, and spring sampler on display as well (all of which have been pictured on here before).

That flower topiary has been a long time in the making!  I started on it years ago and each spring I pull it out and work on it a little more.  This year was the one to actually finish it! Finally!  It matches the wreath and other flower arrangement I have around (you can see the wreath in the mirror).

Do you see the little “balls”?  They are made from our Stampin’ Up! Baker’s Twine! I wanted a little something more so I pulled out Elmer’s Glue (mixed with some water), some balloons, and our Baker’s Twine.  After soaking the twine in the glue mixture I simply wrapped it around an inflated balloon and then set it aside to dry.  Once fully dried, I popped the balloon and gently removed it.

The ‘balls” are not incredibly sturdy, but as long as people aren’t rough with them, they should hold up through the season.

I hope you have enjoyed this little peak into my home.  When you come by to attend class you’ll be able to see the rest.  I hope to see you soon!
