So this is my third {and probably last} post regarding Spring decor. {In case you're wondering, I have decided to decorate more for Spring {versus Easter} because it's more versatile and can stay up longer. That being said, I do have some Eastery things, of course, but it's mostly just Spring-themed}. In case you missed the last two, you can check this one out for a nice Do-It-Yourself Spring Flower Wreath, or click here to check out our DIY cupcake liner wreath, garland and trees!
So the last bits of my Spring decor include a branch centerpiece with some owl and egg images hung from it, my pink tree branch with paper butterflies {left over from our sweetie's first birthday celebration this past weekend!}, and some eggs nestled in moss.
For the Owl branches...just trim branches off your trees, and strip off most of their leaves. You can leave more or less, but I wanted mine to have just a few, to make it seem Spring-like with just a few leaves budding on it. I purchased the .pdf file from Land of Enchantment {on Etsy, but of course!}, then printed, cut, hole-punched their tops, and hung them from the branches with a thin twine. I added some moss to the bottom of the glass hurricane, as well. It's a very vibrant-colored green moss, which I LOVE ~ very Spring-like!
Here is the Butterfly Tree branch. For this one, I clipped a LARGE branch {versus a few small ones for the smaller owl tree display}. Then I spray-painted it pink. Next I found a butterfly silhouette clip art from the web, printed it out, cut it out, and then traced it onto scrapbook papers. I mod-podges two pieces of paper together to make them two-sided. While wet from the mod-podge, I also bent some of them so that they'd dry more realistically, that is, more 3-dimensional {instead of just flat}. After that, I just hot-glued them all over the branch, and then stuck the whole thing in a large glass hurricane. She's sitting in our entry-way now, but will take up permanent residence in our daughter's bird and flower-themed room after Spring.
Lastly, I got some gorgeous little eggs and set them in a basket filled with moss, and a glass flower bloom {from Michael's} on a large candlestick holder that I had purchased years ago and repainted ivory recently. {I couldn't believe how well these 2 decorative pieces fit together!} I clipped off a few of our pink twigs from our large pink butterfly tree to make it more nest-like {I think it's always a good idea to have pairings of the same elements around, but utilized differently, if you can. Makes it all more cohesive but not too matchy-matchy, if you will}.
