So today I was tired of my porch looking so dreary. It looked that way because all my plants were dead and very crispy.
See!? Very crispy
We keep having a random freeze so I can't plant anything real. Boooo! I decided to use some floral vines (past photo props) I had and Micheal's has all floral on sale for 60% off right now. Worked out perfect!
Ooooh color!!!!
This is what the other before - before looked like last summer.
These are all real flowers and plants. So pretty.
In the meantime while the weather decides if it's spring or winter....
I purchased the green and purple flowers at Micheal's, had the floral vines and found these large flower decorations I purchased at Hobby Lobby last year. I used some to decorate the front office at the school and these were leftovers.
I took the floral vine and measure to cut in half
I took out everything and filled with mulch. Why mulch? Because we had it. :) If I had dirt I would've used that.
Separated with a wire cutter
Filled around the tulips
The vine filled in the empty space perfect!
It looked great but I really wanted to add these giant flowers
Hot glued dowels to the back
Ta-Da!!!!
I LOVE the color.
I have two planters on my front porch and the other one has the blue and orange flowers. It started to rain so I didn't get a good photo of both.
This is a great idea! We freeze regularly here in WI before mid-may - off to Michaels I go for flowers!
