I have had some fun lately with Grocery Store Flowers for a Thanksgiving Tablescape. I will be ready with some inexpensive table decor.
You can create your own lovely Thanksgiving table setting with a grocery store bouquet of flowers.

DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath
Do you ever have a picture in your mind of something you want, but you can’t find it anywhere? Does it happen to you a lot? It does to me.
I have been looking for a smallish wreath to hang on my shutter. I wanted something for Spring for my shutter. But, to no avail-I haven’t found one. So I decided to make my own DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath.
This is how I made my DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath:
I purchased 2 stems of cherry blossoms from Joann’s. They were 50% off-AWESOME… I cut all the little branches off with wire snips. Easy.
Using floral tape I connected each of my stems together.
Have you ever used floral tape? You can purchase it at any craft store, or floral supply.
Tip: When you use floral tape, you need to stretch and pull to make it “stick”. If you just wrap it , it will fall apart and not work. So make sure to pull and stretch for a good, secure hold.
I made the wreath in no time at all. By bending my branches a little, I formed a circle. Then there was the problem of the green floral tape showing on the brown branches.
To “hide” the floral tape, I decided to hot glue the extra blossoms over it.
You can see that I strategically placed blossoms over the floral tape, and Voila!! I have a small Spring wreath hanging on my shutter
Do you walk by your newly created craft to admire it? Confession: I do! I love when I can picture something and it comes out just as I imagined.
Let me know if you make a DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath. I really would love to see it and hear about your success.
Thanks for letting me share my DIY Cherry Blossom Wreath with you today. I really appreciate all of your support and encouragement.
April Highlights
This post contains affiliate links at NO extra cost to you.
Can you believe it is May? The birds are singing, the pool is warm, and the sun is finally shining. Even though I live in Las Vegas, the weather can be kinda crazy sometimes. It isn’t always hot like everyone thinks. We had rain all last week. And sometimes it even snows. But that is a topic for another day. Today I want to take you back in time to my April Highlights here on What Meegan Makes.
I am well over 700 posts on my blog now. That seems almost impossible to me. Some posts are excellent and others, well, let’s just say they could be much better.
I have been in the process of updating and revamping some of my older posts. Hopefully they will be a little more desirable and eye catching once I am done. Cross your fingers for me, okay?
