A spring Centerpiece...

  The weather is becoming more & more like spring here in the Carolina's!! Spring is on it's way & it's inspiring me to do more projects around the house. This week I really wanted to create a spring centerpiece for my coffee table. I found an old metal basket and some decorative balls in my "junk closet" & was inspired to make this centerpiece...



Before...





After...



What I used...



By simply using this moss (which you can find at any craft store) & hot gluing it onto the balls (I already had some decorative ones but you can use Styrofoam balls, also found at craft stores) & adding a cute little nest with eggs to the newly painted basket, it made a perfect spring centerpiece.

Finished Centerpiece...








Thank you so much for stopping by to see this quick little centerpiece that I made! What kind of spring projects have you started?? I can't wait to start some more of my own! Don't forget to stop by Liz Marie Blog Facebook Page to share your DIY projects & to share your blogs with me & my readers. Hope you all had a great weekend!

XoXo,

  4. You made this decorative center piece and I cleaned under my kitchen sink & re-organized my kitchen detergent & sponges. What is wrong with this picture?

  5. I'm forcing some bulbs, but I was a bit late this year. There is still snow on the ground up here in NY so I think I have some time. I love centerpieces, yours is fabulous and really love the nest.

  10. Love this! I have a little bit of a moss & bird/nest obsession lately so I think this is the perfect little piece to add some spring decor with. I might have to make a knockoff version. Like the last person to comment, I love your header too (great pic!) I'll also be sending you some pics soon to hopefully be featured on your blog/facebook.

    Thanks!
