Flowers are such a great way to bring spring inside against the chill! Pack a big punch of color and texture into any frame to freshen up your walls with this quick and easy little project. You can even make this in any color combination you want!
Gather your supplies, and start by plucking all the faux flowers off their stems. Set them aside in bowls of each separate color.
Mix three shades of paint to match your flowers. I did an off-white, a true yellow, and a yellow-orange. You could blend all three shades by mixing two! Remove the glass from your frame, and paint an ombre colored gradient directly on one side of it with a paintbrush. Just set it aside until it's dry and take a little break.
Put the frame back together with the painted side of the glass facing inside. Glue flowers directly onto the surface of the glass. Start at the corners, and work your way inward.
For a more organic, natural look, avoid straight lines. Add flowers randomly, filling in gaps and packing them in densely. You can vary the heights of the flowers in different spots by trimming the back of the flower a bit shorter on some than others before gluing, giving it something to stand on.
