Fun Springtime Crafts and Projects

It's that time of year again...a time of renewal some might say. A time many look forward too after a long cold winter. To welcome spring back, I thought it would be nice to introduce some spring time crafts!

This first project is very simple, a beginner could do this easily! You will need about ten limes and lemons, (total), spray adhesive, white sparkling sugar sprinkles, an oblong serving dish, and fresh flowers of your choice. Working with one lemon or lime at a time, spray with your adhesive and then immediately sprinkle generously with the sugar sprinkles. Repeat with remaining lemons and limes. Next you will arrange the fruit onto your serving dish. Trim all the stems off the flowers as needed to achieve the desired length. Then just insert the flowers between the lemons and limes to fill in the spaces. This simple project will make a stunning center piece for any table!

This next project is called a floral pomander. You will need plastic foam balls, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, (as many as you want to make), sheet moss, potpourri, scissors, hot glue and glue sticks, and some candlesticks. The first thing you will need to do is to hot glue the sheet moss onto your plastic foam ball. Completely cover the ball with the moss. To attach the potpourri, apply hot glue to a small area of the ball. Immediately roll the glued area of the ball in the potpourri. Continue this process until the ball is completely covered with the potpourri. Next just place your potpourri covered ball on top of your candlestick, and viola, your floral pomander is done!
