• Ribbon or twine for hanging (optional)

Instructions:

1. Choose your flowers: Decide on the types of flowers you want to create. Popular choices for a spring wall hanging include roses, peonies, daisies, and hydrangeas. You can find stencils online or in craft stores, or you can freehand cut your own flower shapes.

1. Create your flowers:  Using your chosen paper and stencils or freehand cutting techniques, create several flower shapes in different sizes. Aim for a variety of colors and bloom sizes for a more visually interesting display.

1. Assemble the flowers:  For roses, layer several flower circles cut in decreasing sizes, slightly offset from each other, and secure them in the center with a dab of glue.  For peonies, crumple tissue paper squares and layer them in the center, then add larger petal shapes around the base. For daisies, cut out a yellow circle for the center and white petal shapes, then glue them together. Use your creativity to shape and assemble the flowers.

1. Construct the wall hanging: Lay your canvas or cardboard flat.  Arrange the paper flowers on the base to create your desired design. Once you’re happy with the layout, begin gluing the flowers down securely.

1. Choose your colors:  Spring is all about cheerful hues, so select acrylic paints in vibrant colors or calming pastels. Consider using a color palette that complements your existing home decor or the flowers you plan to plant.

1. Solid color or patterned?  Decide whether you want to paint your pots a solid color or add some patterns. For a simple and classic look, choose a single spring color and paint the entire pot.

1. Creating patterns:  For a more personalized touch, consider adding patterns to your pots. You can achieve stripes, polka dots, or geometric designs by freehand painting or using painter’s tape to create clean lines. Stencils are also a great option for creating intricate floral or botanical patterns.

• Painting your masterpiece:  Begin by applying a base coat of paint to your chosen color. Allow the first coat to dry completely before adding a second coat for better coverage.

• Adding details:  Once the base coat is dry, you can add details like stripes or polka dots using a smaller paintbrush.  If you’re using stencils, carefully apply paint over the stencil and remove it gently to reveal the design.

• Seal the deal (optional):  For added protection against the elements, especially for outdoor planters, apply a coat of clear sealant once the paint is completely dry.

1. Assemble the butterflies:  If using fabric, consider lightly fusing the edges with an iron to prevent fraying.  Using an embroidery needle and thread (optional), sew two butterfly shapes together, leaving a small opening at the top. Stuff the butterfly with a small amount of cotton for a more 3D effect, then sew the opening closed.

1. Creating the mobile:  Cut pipe cleaners or straws into different lengths. Thread one end of a piece of thread or fishing line through the top of a butterfly and tie a knot to secure it. Repeat this process for additional butterflies, using varying thread lengths to create a cascading effect.

Choose essential oils with spring scents like lavender, lemon, bergamot, or a combination of your favorites. Add the essential oils sparingly, a drop or two at a time, and mix the potpourri gently to distribute the fragrance evenly.

• Curing your potpourri:  Allow your potpourri mixture to cure for several weeks in a cool, dark place.  Stir the potpourri occasionally to ensure the essential oils are evenly distributed and to prevent mold growth.
