There are many ways you can decorate with flowers. I am sharing three ways and would love to hear from you which one you think looks the best.

• Hanging basket that glows in the dark for your patio outdoors
• Adorable flower pot in the kitchen
• Colorful tulips for mindfulness station

1) Paper tulips hanging basket

The hanging basket is a cute way to decorate outdoor spaces with paper tulips. You can even use this idea to arrange your real tulips or any other flowers in the backyard or garden. Here are some ways to use them:

PLANT SOME FLOWERS

These baskets come with plastic covering so the soil can stay in it. Just add some soil and plant your plants for an easy decoration. Hanging baskets are a simple way to add a statement to your outdoor space.

KIDS DOLL HOUSE GARDEN

You can hang these baskets with paper tulips on your kids play house.

WREATH

Hang the basket as a wreath on your front door.

SMALL SPACE DECORATION

Hang this floral arrangement in your balcony or your glass patio. This will save foot space and add to the beauty of the space. The low maintenance makes them a great project for busy people.

TIP: The glow in the dark garden pebbles will make this project eye catchy at night. If you live in a windy place, use glue gun to glue it to moss and it is guaranteed to stay. Tried and proven in Toronto winds. Try it and see for yourself!

2) Paper tulips flower pot

Have the flower arrangement enhance the kitchen space and wake up to bright and beautiful colors that will surely make you feel alive after months of winter and snow.

3) Decorate with paper tulips for spring

Personally, I ended up making it a part of my favorite spot in the house. Since, we spend most of our time in the family room this spot was the best choice. The project was intended to celebrate early spring while it’s still cold out here and it’s serving the purpose.

Flower arrangement and mindfulness station

I love to relax with a cup of green tea in the evening. The colors of spring is the only thing I was missing. This project has added that missing piece into the space at this time of the year. With pops of color for the eyes, essential oil infused with scentsy for the nose and himalayan glow natural pink salt lamp for the soul. This space is perfect for mindfulness.

TIP: A few drops of essential oil in wax when you turn the candle warmer on brings beautiful aromas in the home. This is great for hosting as well.
