DIY Flower Garland

With spring slowly settling in, I'm incorporating some of the changing season's elements around our home. You may or may not have noticed, I'm pretty obsessed with flowers in general. This little DIY flower garland is super easy and super adorable!

Here's what you'll need

- Fresh flowers (nothing super delicate or large, I used Carnations & Daisies mostly)

- String (go with something thicker, like embroidery floss, not thread!)

- Small needle

- Scissors

Step One

Trim the flower heads off of their stems

Step Two

Thread you needle into the base of the flower head and all the way though the flower

Step Three

Add more flowers until you're satisfied with the length. You can leave a lot of space in between each flower, or a little or none at all. Whatever you think looks best!

Step Four

The best part! Decorate your home with it!

These garlands look perfect strung up in a window! But there's no shortage of ways to decorate with them. You could string a few over a bed for a nice "head board" look. I totally want to try making one necklace style and wearing it around town like a lei. Hang them across the top of a door way or you could even make a short one to hang from a door knob. I also hung some vertically, in front a window to create a sort of floral curtain (pictured below). For those I used a bead at the end to prevent nay flowers from falling off.

The nice thing is, these garlands will still look beautiful even after the flowers have dried (pictured below)!

Spring Forward

Alas, the temperatures outside are slowly rising, the birds have begun to chirping again, the sun is shining a little brighter and soon enough the earth will be in full bloom. I love bringing elements of the changing season into our home. Our fragrant Woodlands Lavender Bouquet is the perfect scent to welcome spring back into your life. And although we love dried flowers, we also adore fresh ones, especially when it's a single, vibrant bloom floating in our Mercury Bottles or any of our collection of antique glass bottles. They make the perfect little spring time vases! For a unique pop of color, we're filling our space with vibrant crystals; cheery citrine and a rainbow of agates! My favorite idea for the spring season is using our gorgeous Crystal Candle Holders as little planters! Don't those succulents look amazing potted in an Agate Geode?!  We also have lots of new wall hangings, with bright colors and cowrie shells to help you spring forward. Be sure to stop by the shop and see what's new for spring!

Have a gorgeous day!

Welcome March! The beginning of this month brings the promise of warm sunshine and blooming flowers! We love this time of year, bright colors start to bud and bloom everywhere, the trees come back to life with lush green foliage and the days get lighter. Our latest collection of jewelry and home decor reflects the change about to occur in the earth, complete with vibrant, colorful stones and lots of little cowrie shells. These jewels are the perfect little pieces for the summertime goddess with glowing skin, layer up in our bohemian charm necklaces and stack your wrist with shells galore. The newest home decor is such a perfect segue into spring, with bright agate mobiles, perfect for an outdoor patio, chiming in the cool spring breeze. They also look amazing hanging inside a home, with window light illuminating each stone. I love our new wall hangings, the Wonderland Wall Hanging is a perfect little boho touch to add a great pop of color to any space.
