A few well-arranged decorations here and there are always a good idea to make a room more homely and stylish or to get into the right festive mood. But hanging decorations always have a special charm, don't you think? How about making a beautiful hanging decoration for the coming spring?
Whether it's spring decorations, Easter decorations for the spring bouquet or simply something neutral to freshen up your living space - pretty hanging decorations can be made with simple materials, as you'll soon see.
Make butterfly vases as hanging decorations
The pretty, hanging vases with butterfly wings can display the first spring flowers or dried flowers.
- glittery craft paper
- Construction paper
- Wings template (or freehand)
- glittery pipe cleaners
- scissors, glue
- Hanging ribbons
- Materials for designing the wings
How to make hanging decorations for spring:
- Print and cut out the templates and transfer them to construction paper. Cut out the butterfly wings.
- Cut out circles for the heads from the glitter paper and make small funnels.
- Glue the wings to the funnel and butterfly head.
- Punch holes in the funnel in two opposite places, insert the ribbon through the holes and tie knots on the inside to prevent the ribbon from slipping out. Alternatively, you can just glue it in place
- Design the butterfly wings as you wish.
- Cut a pipe cleaner in half and form antennae out of them, which you also glue to the butterfly.
- Place flowers in the vase and hang them up.
Hanging decoration for windows or ceilings made of light bulbs
You can make the beautiful light bulbs with glitter, as in the example, but also with simple acrylic paint. Usually they are designed from the inside, but if you also want to use them as vases for real flowers, we recommend the outside.
- Light bulbs of any color
- Acrylic paint or napkin glue and glitter
- Yarn
- Hot glue
And this is how you can make the hanging decoration:
- Put the glitter on a deep plate or in a wide bowl.
- Coat the bulb with the glue and roll it through the glitter.
- Allow the glue to dry.
- Then wrap the yarn around the socket of the light bulb, forming the long loop for hanging.
Make hanging decorations with flower bulbs - kokedama with spring flowers
You can conjure up attractive kokedama on the spring flowers you bought in pots and then hang them up (or just stand them up). You don't have to be a florist to make them because it's so easy that even beginners can do it.
- Any flower bulbs, preferably small groups in a pot
- Blumendraht
- Potting soil
- Moos
- Yarn
- optionally something to hang up, e.g. B. a branch
And this is how it's done:
- Remove the onion group from the pot.
- Firmly press potting soil around the root ball.
- Wrap the whole thing with the moss and tie it in place with floral wire.
- Now wrap yarn around the finished Kokedama so that you can hang the decoration from the ceiling.
Further instructions can be foundin this post.
The kokedama should not be hung in direct sunlight. If you want to use the decoration for the window, make sure it is an east-facing window or is hung high enough to avoid direct sunlight. To water, remove the kokedama and water it in a place where it can then drain. Once the excess water is gone, you can hang it up again.
Make a wreath with kokedama as a hanging decoration
Would you like to go one step further? Then create a spring wreath from the kokedamas you made. For this you can use a ready-made wreath blank made from willow branches or vines or tie one yourself. Then use floral wire to attach the flower arrangements and other decorations as desired.
Bird pendant for mobile, Easter bouquet and window decoration
A beautiful spring decoration couldn't be easier! Print out the template, select any motifs from it and cut them out. Transfer them to any color of construction paper and design with markers. You can let your creativity run wild. Punch holes in each design and tie string.
Use thatTrailer for a mobileor to decorate the spring bouquet. You can also hang the birds in front of the window. Or get branches for hanging (e.g. birch branches) for decoration and attach your bird pendants there.
Tipp:Did you also notice the garland? Using a needle and thread, simply sew pumpkin seeds together. It's that easy to make and gives your spring or Easter bouquet the finishing touch.
