11 Fake Flower DIY Projects That Will Last You Through This Spring And Beyond
With the first day of spring come and gone, the snow will hopefully start to melt and that old rhyme will come true — April showers bring May flowers. I know that florals for spring is nothing new, but since I'd like my floral decor to last for more than a week, I've been thinking about trying out a few faux flower DIY projects to spruce up my space for spring. Pinterest is littered with tutorials for paper, fabric, felt, and other faux flower ideas (I am personally a fan of book page wedding bouquets), and these selections will keep you busy until spring actually comes.
