Floral Letters

Recently a close friend had a baby girl. I wanted to make her something fun for her nursery.  It needed to be something she would like, want and use. When I asked her what she might enjoy she said she'd like her daughters initials with a floral theme. Between her ideas and mine this is what was created.

For this project I needed:

- 7 bouquets of fake flowers               ($20)

- White wooden letters                  ($4 each)

- A hot glue gun and glue sticks    (Owned)

- Scissors                                       (Owned)

The Total cost was $32.

Getting Started

I started out this project by cutting all of the flowers off of their stems, making sure to get as close to the base of the flower as possible. Next I set the flowers on the letters to get an idea for the look and feel.  A handful of the smaller flowers were set aside to use as filler later.  Upon doing this I realized I needed more flowers so I recommend getting more than you think you'll need.  

I then removed the flowers and proceeded to hot-glue them on, changing the layout slightly as I went. Starting with the biggest flowers and moving my way to the smallest seemed to work best. When glueing them on I found that having the flowers point in different directions looked better. Once finished glueing the large and medium flowers on it was time to fill in with the little ones I

had set aside. 

They are light and girly, perfect for a little girls nursery. You could also do some fun spring home decor using this process.  Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. 

If you have any recommendations for a future project it would be appreciated.

Previous Projects

I have many projects I have done in the years before I owned a blog. I thought I would share for those who are interested.

Harry Potter fandom-
For this project I reused a old plain black shirt and a old pair of soccer socks and puff painted them with the design I wanted.

Tie Dye Cake-

To bake this cake I used store bought white cake mix and prepared it as said on the box. While it was still in batter form I separated the batter into 4 different bowls and then dyed them individually with the colors of my choice. This is a 2 layer cake so in one of the pans I pored all of one color in and then right on top I pored the next color in and then baked, I repeated that step with the second pan. Once baked I added the layers together and then let the kids frost in all sorts of colors. 

Rock Art-
To make this Fun party rocks I went outside and found the smoothest rocks I could find and then I painted them with black paint and then chose colors and words to match the theme of the party (or in this case bid day). These are perfect to fill a vase, to hold a table cloth down or just as table decor.

Mickey and Minnie mouse costume-

To DIY these costumes I found a red dress and red Shorts and cut circles of white ducktape and placed them accordingly. We bought large white glove and then cut strips of black tape to create the lines. We found the black shirt, black sweater, black leggings and black belt all in our closets already. next we bought ears, I added a red bow for minnie's, and then we used eyeliner to create whiskers and noses.
