Hi! I'm a happily married Air Force Spouse and I am a Bath∙ologist. My family and I recently relocated from California and just started our new adventure in Vermont and bought our first home! My husband is an Active Duty Air Force Recruiter and we have 3 fun and silly kiddos and they always make sure there is never a dull moment. They are 20 yrs old, 12 and 7 yrs old. We also have fur babies.... Lots of them! 3 dogs, 1 cat and a guinea pig to be exact. I share the things I love and useful information that I run across and lessons I have learned along the way.

Umbrella Craft


 




   
   
Supplies:

  Umbrella (was on sale at Target)
  Flowers (Michael's Craft Store)
  Pink Wire Ribbon (Michael's Craft Store)

Tips:

   I tied the ribbon towards the bottom and then took a little bit of newspaper and shoved it inside the umbrella in the front to keep it semi open and the ribbon towards the bottom keeps it semi closed.


   Don't put the flowers in until the umbrella is hanging on the door and arrange them all inside the front part of the umbrella so the back lays flush against the door.


           My husband, our 2 girls and myself all loaded up in the car and ran to Michael's and picked up the supplies to make this and brighten up our front door.  I received a 50% off of one item coupon in the mail from Michael's and also used a 25% off my entire purchase coupon from their phone app.  I highly recommend getting the Michael's craft store phone app because each month they give you coupons and you just have the cashier scan the coupon right off of your phone!   It is super cute and so easy! I was hoping to get a sky blue color of the flowers but they didn't have any. I recommend the sky blue if your store has them.    I saw this craft on www.pinterest.com originally. Just type in umbrella wreath and a bunch of variations of this craft will pop up.   I'm not crazy about the color of my front door but we are a military family living in base housing so it is what it is ;).  Maybe for Easter or Spring I will tackle the front door and cover it in something.
