I MUST HAVE
FLOWERS
Always Umbrella Wreath
STEP ONE: Rain Drops
h, hello spring readers!
Raise your hand if this is
your favorite time of year.
I love all of the seasons for
myriad reasons, but spring
just feels so special. New
beginnings, new blooms, fresh, clean air (insert
deep yoga breath).
When thinking of my DIY craft for this issue, I
O
knew it had to be all about flowers. Flowers are
the best part of spring, right?! But with flowers,
must come rain, and with rain must come flowers.
Either way, I am looking forward to afternoon
showers, shining sun and a blooming landscape
after the winter we have just endured.
This craft can be used as a wreath for your front
door or can be placed in a pot for a beautiful
welcome into your home!

For my fellow hot-glue-gun-fanatics, you will
love this part. Using a heated glue gun, squeeze
small dots onto the heads of all of your artificial
flowers. There is no wrong or right way to place
your dots. Just go for it! Once all of your dots
have dried, pull all of the glue stings off of the
flower (this is important for Step 2). You can put
rain drops on your umbrella if you wish.
