Making upcycled ✨whimsical✨ Spring home decor 🌸 craft with me: painting, embroidery, dried flowers

Let's cover everything in moss and ferns....
This week I wanted to make some spring themed home decor using mostly thrifted materials. I used dried flowers I foraged and pressed last year, thrifted candles and candlestick holders, a thrifted lightswitch cover, and an old pair of linen pants I wasn't using.

you could try a hair dryer to warm the wax, blue flowers are called speedwell.

🪡 I think it's good to keep in the unfinished project, since that's the reality of a lot of crafting!

I was sewing 🪡 alongside you during this video and it was so nice to craft together!

I’ve seen a tutorial before where they held wax paper over the candle tightly and heated it with a blow dryer so the wax from the paper melts on to the candle and covers the flowers (napkins in the video I saw). ❤❤❤

🪡 I also enjoy variety. Using wax to set the flowers is possible it just takes a bit of time. Softening the spot where the flower will be, then dipping the flowers in the wax and quickly placing it let it dry and then add another layer of wax. But using the glue to set it, won't be a problem when melting, because since the candle burns in the center both the flowers and the glue will just slide off and also glue isn't toxic in case it could burn alongside the wax.

I just found you thanks to recommended videos and I'm so excited. We seem so similar and I'm convinced we would be besties IRL lol. Time to binge all of your videos lol.

You could use the other light switch covers when the season changes, decorate them differently when you feel like a change.🪡
