Instructions
Step 1
Before you start creating your spring planter, ensure you have all the materials ready. You will need 4 mm twine, a glue gun, and some sturdy bags or a floral base. Also, collect natural moss, like reindeer moss, as well as your choice of early flowers, such as daffodils and hyacinths, plus a few decorative ceramic birds.
Step 2
Start by preparing the base for your planter. If you're using a floral base, make sure it's clean and sturdy enough to hold the flowers and moss. Lay down your natural moss as the first layer, making sure it covers the entire base. This will give your arrangement a beautiful, natural look.
Step 3
Next, take the twine and wrap it around your base to create a rustic finish. Use the glue gun to secure the twine at each end. This adds a charming touch to your planter. Once the twine is in place, position your ceramic birds around the base, securing them with glue as needed.
Step 4
Now, it's time to add your flowers! Carefully place the daffodils and hyacinths into the moss, ensuring they are evenly spaced and secure. Make sure to give them a gentle pat to keep them in place.
Step 5
Lastly, take a step back to assess your creation. If you’d like, you can add more moss, or even additional decorations to enhance the final look. Once everything is set, your DIY spring planter is ready! You can use it for decoration or for storage of small items.
