How to Decorate, Home, Garden, Crafts
Branching out with a Spring Refresh.
With winter still in full swing, I like to brighten up my home by forcing collections of budding branches to bloom early inside.
The collected bouquet of branches & flowers can be used to enliven my Dining Room tabletop or my Living Room mantel with a touch of green, and color. Read on to learn how to make your own bouquet that is beautiful yet affordable in just three simple steps!
Inspired by Nature: Flowering Quince for Spring- live branches
Just before Spring arrives, you will find me in the yard cutting branches and bringing them indoors for an early spring flower display.
I love flowers, but for spring, the blooming branches of Quince are my favorite. They’re a lovely way to bring the beauty of spring into your home. I will usually buy a few Blooming branches and then add faux flowers from the craft store so I have branches to use outdoors and inside, again and again, each year.
The ones that are in the outdoor planter on my porch are the ones that I crafted the year before, and they get used again and again.

A Harbinger of Spring- Flowering Branches
Personal and natural elements added to any interior space is always the perfect touch for any room.
Sometimes we don’t have a yard, and buying live flowers can be expensive, so my solution is to craft with faux flowers as a great way to save some money and use what’s around you. Add a mix of live Quince branches with a few faux Quince branches together in a vase for a vibrant and delightful display.
Once your flowers have finished blooming on your beloved live branches, just clip a few faux flowers and leaves, then use your glue gun to add the faux onto the branches for continued display.
It’s simple enough for beginners to do.
A Few Tips for Faux
Always have more leaves than flowers if possible.
Space each of the flowers in a random manner as you glue them to the branches. The more spacing you provide between flower clumps and individual flowers, the more natural. Ad a few buds too.
Now I will have real-life-like spring branches to use next year for my front door display that will greet us as we return home every day, and will last for years.
Yours in decor, Deborah
