How to Make a Spring-Inspired Living Wreath

by Kayla Kitts March 26, 2013 6 Comments

I lack a green thumb and I’m not embarrassed to admit it. I just didn’t get the know-how or special touch when it comes to gardening. But there are some projects even I can’t possibly mess up. This gorgeous, spring-y living wreath designed by Kim Foren is one of them. It looks complicated, but it’s not! All you need are a few supplies and you’re all set.

Materials: 3-D wire wreath ring, potting soil, plants with 3-inch roots (succulents, pansies, annuals) and sphagnum moss

Directions: First, soak the potting soil and moss in water. Line the inside of the wreath with moss, then fill with soil. Plant your plants around the wreath. Pat down to secure. Water and lay flat for at least one week. After a week, hang your wreath or use as an eye-catching green centerpiece.

We’ve been wishing, hoping and practically pleading with Mother Nature and now the day is here: it’s officially spring! And what better way to celebrate than by growing your own Easter basket grass?

If you start now, you’ll have a good-sized patch of grass within a few days. Kind of makes you wonder why you ever bothered with the fake stuff, right?

Easter Egg Dyeing and Decorating Ideas & Inspiration

by Anna Millman April 17, 2011 8 Comments

A couple weeks ago, Karli pitted chicks and bunnies in a quest to find out which cute, cuddly mascot of Easter should reign supreme. You, our Design Happens followers, overwhelmingly championed for bunnies. But if you are the proud owner of a small flock of backyard hens like me, (yes, I live in the big city of Atlanta and have six pet chickens) then you know in your heart of hearts…chicks rule! (After all, bunnies don’t lay eggs.)

HGTV Backyard Chickens as Pets - Your Own Fresh Easter Eggs

2011 marks the first year I will dye and decorate eggs for Easter fresh from the coop. Even better, we have a chicken known as an Easter Egger that lays pastel blue eggs. What more can you ask for?

HGTV Design Happens - Dyeing and Decorating Easter Eggs

I’m tempted to go with this DIY shabby chic spoon and candle display designed by Just Something I Made, so I can show off a half dozen naturally blue eggs. Since our hens lay about five eggs a day total, we’ve started collecting porcelain eggs crates. Maybe I could do something modern with this one from West Elm? Then again, I am enchanted by the doily stencil approach I found on the blog Urban Comfort. Delicate and subtle. (And no dyeing involved if we use our blue and brown eggs.)

If you love dyeing and decorating with Easter eggs as much as me, then you’ll love seven more stunning, yes, stunning designs I found on Etsy and crafting blogs. Plenty of inspiration and tutorials if you’re a DIYer like me. Or you’ve still got time to order from the Etsy sellers if you love handmade but don’t have time for crafts. Enjoy!
