What a glorious day we woke up to this morning. It seems the spring feelings have arrived and
with them the lovely weather! To
celebrate the arrival of spring, I had two lovely friends over for a mini high
tea last Friday. And of course a tea
party needs pretty decor, so my mom and I made this beautiful spring branch for
the centrepiece of the tea table...
To make you’ll need one good branch.
We used a branch my dad pruned from the peach tree a few months ago:-)
White spray paint.
Felt in different shades of pink, white and cream
Fabric glue, scissors and a pen for tracing
Flower template of your choice
Medium sized container such as a pot or tin.
Material to cover tin or pot
Beach sand
Pebbles
The first step is to coat your branch with the white spray
paint. If you don’t have a lot of paint,
use a smaller branch or just paint it very roughly. Leave it to dry.
Now trace and cut out flowers from the different shades of pink, cream
and white felt. Be creative and mix and
match the shades. Use the fabric glue to
secure the centres to the flowers. Once
the branch is dry, glue the flowers to it.
Try to space the flowers evenly.
Leave to dry overnight. Place the
branch standing up in a covered tin or pot and fill with beach sand. Top with a layer of small pebbles. Now you have a beautiful spring branch to
adorn your table!
What have you
been busy with so far this spring?
