DIY Easter Decor / Craft Idea: Pretty Hydrangea Globes!

This post was most recently updated on September 22nd, 2019

It’s an ironic day to talk about a diy Spring craft that can be used for Easter decorating, considering we woke up to snow this morning.  (Or, maybe that makes it the perfect day!)  Either way, I think I jinxed myself.

Brrrrrr!  On to more Spring-like pictures!

My favorite flower is the hydrangea. Hydrangeas are generally considered a spring flower, and are widely available at Easter.  But around here, we don’t begin to see hydrangeas bloom in soil until summer.  That’s why when I saw a tutorial awhile back for a real-looking faux hydrangea globe , I knew I wanted to use them as part of my Easter decorating this year.

This Spring craft is so easy that it doesn’t even rank on the easy scale.  Seriously.

The one thing that you would need to buy if you don’t already have one is a Martha Stewart hydrangea punch which is available at Michael’s. (No this post is not sponsored by Michaels.)  You also need a million straight pins (well, not quite, but a lot) , card stock, and styrofoam balls.  {By the way, please do not buy styrofoam balls at a craft store!  They are like 10x the price there vs a dollar store.  I bought a bag of them for $1.29 there vs over $10 elsewhere.}

If the pictures below are not self-explanatory, then pop over to the tutorial at LandeeSeeLandeeDo.  (She also shares a stunning spring mantel). Seeing that it was her craft that inspired me, I feel its only right to send some blog love her way.

Here’s a few pics of the process I went through…

And here’s how they look now…

Pretty Easter decor, yes?

Easy Easter decor, yes?

And, the perfect Spring craft for a snow day?

Yes!

Until next time, happy Spring decorating (and dreaming!)
