Spring Has Sprung!


Spring lends itself to some pretty fresh and fun display ideas....case in point, these darling floral hats on mannequins. These are made from inexpensive fresh flowers and leaves, simply pinned into place in styro heads that have been covered with torn paper.
Nestled into a bed of wheat grass (available at the local grocer), these ladies evoke a lovely scene. Using fresh flowers, this idea is easily applicable for a table centerpiece, an entry table, a tableaux behind a register or window display for a special event at a shop. Use quality silk blooms and some faux grass squares, and you've got an accent that can work for a longer time period in merchandise displays....can't you just see jewelry in there? Soaps, lotions and potions? Scarves? Even flower seeds!!!
You can take this idea and run with it - imagine a bunch of thrift-shop shoes, covered in silk leaves and single rose petals, or perhaps actual shoes sitting on plump cushions & pillows covered with other flower petals in spring-y colors?
Photos were found ages ago online....I had saved the information, and now it has disappeared from the file info. I would certainly credit the designer if I could remember who it was!!! (If you know, leave a comment, please...)
