Spring is in full bloom INSIDE our house.
(I decided that if I decorate for Spring, it will come)
And one of my favorite spaces to decorate in my home is my little beadboard nook. When I think of Spring I imagine pink tulips, yellow daffodils, birds singing, lots or color and an abundance of green. So I tried to incorporate those thoughts into this little space.
I have wanted to try using moss in decorating for awhile and I was amazed at the moss sheets that are available now. The one I used had a plastic mesh backing that kept the moss sheet together plus made it so easy to cut and shape around my wreath.
And I was so excited to use some of Canvas Corp’s new products in this little project. They have some really fun new products out. Like a whole BEACH line, chevron papers, new colors of little clothespins, pennants and more.
I love the bright colors that this newly completed project brings into my room. And, it looks so great with my new Spring Mantel (I will be posting about that soon). I also used the same vintage window that I used in my Valentine’s Wreath project. I love repurposing items again and again. And of course I needed some pennants – just because I love them.
Here’s what I did:
- The first thing I did was took some yellow canvas and stapled it onto the back of the window for some bright happy color.
- Then I took some Canvas Corp paper and made some pennants with their natural and red twine.
- I hung the pennants on the window, criss-crossing them randomly.
Here’s how I made the moss wreath.
- I took the moss sheeting, laid the wreath on top.
- Then I cut around the wreath, leaving about 2 inches on the inside and outside to be wrapped around.
- I cut slits in the inside and outside so when I wrapped it, the moss would fit closer.
- Then I glued the sheeting onto the wreath. For more info on how to cut the moss to fit perfectly check out Sarah @Coffee and Cabernet’s tutorial – it’s great.
- Once that was done, I took some Canvas Corp. canvas flowers and used my iTop to make some covered buttons for each flower. Then I glued the flowers onto the wreath.
- The last thing I did was take some material and ribbon and tie them onto the top of the wreath.
I used a 3M Command Hook to hang the wreath onto the window. That way I can take it off when I’m ready for the next project.
I also used some Canvas Corp pennants to spell out the word BLOOM and hung that on one edge of the window.
I used some bright cupcake wrappers to add some color at the top of the candlesticks. I put little white bowls inside of the cupcake wrappers and candles inside of the bowls. That way there isn’t a fire hazard with the wrappers.
I also took two smaller Canvas Corp. canvases and covered them with fabric for a little extra color and interest.
The topiaries are a project that I made last year using Washi Tape – I love that stuff!!
And I am excited to announce that there will be a FUN Canvas Corp. giveaway coming up tonight along with the Weekend Wrap Up Party. I hope you can come by for the fun. It’s my favorite time of the week!!
Have a Wonderful Day!!

Oh. My. That is just WAY too cute! I have a “nook” so to speak, above our cupboards. I have plants us there but, I’ve never thought of decorating it. When she said that you decorate your head board nook, you sparked my idea. THANK YOU!!!

Love this! The wreath is just gorgeous – the flowers are so bright and fun against the moss. The whole vignette is just wonderful and I really like how you have picked up the yellow from the chair and the pink from the throw pillow. Really lovely!
