My favorite decoration....so far.

I made this decoration for my daughter's room a couple of months ago, and I love it! It's super easy and you can customize it to any room and holiday.

My daughter's room is all about color and all you need for this project is:
2 Styrofoam balls- I did two different sizes and put the smaller one on top.
1 dowel- doesn't matter what size. I think mine is 1/4 inch in diameter.
A tin can or two of paper flowers. You can get these at Michael's in the embellishment section.
Buttons and push pins. I used magenta and teal for the push pins.
And then you just need a flower pot, I painted mine, some newspaper, a hot glue gun, and some colored rocks.

So to make this super easy project, start by priming and spray painting your flower pot. Depending on how long your dowel is, you might need to cut it. I cut a foot off of mine, so it was about 2 feet long when I was done. I then spray painted that too.
While those are drying, figure out what kind of flowers you want to use. I bought the tin that had all different colors in it. Also- all the flowers are different kinds! You might even get lucky and get some that are polka-dotted!

Once your dowel is dry, take your bigger styrofoam ball and shove your dowel through it. Then take your smaller styrofoam ball and do the same thing, only don't let the dowel go all the way though. **Make sure you do this before you put the flowers on, that way you don't risk messing up some flowers!**
So, now just start taking your flowers, you can over lap two colors, one with a smaller one, and then put a colored button in the middle of the flower and use two push pins to get them to stick to the ball. Just repeat this step until the whole ball is covered in flowers!

When both styrofoam balls are covered, just glue the dowel to the bottom of the flower pot and surround it with alot of crumpled newspaper. Then to cover the newspaper, use the rocks I mentioned.

The finished project is super cute!  I also spray painted a gold webbing over the pot. Enjoy!
