I don’t know about you, but during this time of year, spring colors spark a breath of fresh air into my life. Don’t tell me that we still have weeks of winter left, I just want to live in my dream world that spring is just around the corner. When I walked into the craft store the other day, I was struck by displays of colorful flowers, bright patterned craft paper and cheerful organizing bins. I was immediately so happy and motivated to start some new projects! There is nothing better than crafting up some cheer in the spring. Last year I made some watercolor plant markers but I wanted to come up with something fresh for this season. I was inspired to make these adorable hanging paper umbrellas and I love how they turned out!
These little paper umbrellas are so versatile. I was inspired by these umbrellas and quickly realized that they could be used in so many different ways. You could hang them in a nursery for a unique mobile or make some larger ones for a baby shower. Hang some from your mantel for a pop of spring decor or even add them to a wreath!
