Spring might signal the start of the sunny season but it’s also nearly the time for April showers – so don’t ditch your umbrella just yet. In fact, if you have a spare or broken brolly lurking in the back of the cupboard, we have just the thing to transform it into a beautiful spring flower arrangement to hang on the back of your door.
What you need:
- An umbrella (in a pretty pastel shade, if possible)
- A length of coloured ribbon
- Oasis cone
- A bouquet of your favourite blooms
What to do:
1. Partially open out your umbrella and push your down to the bottom of the umbrella use more than one cone if you have a large umbrella and plenty of flowers).
2. Tie a ribbon around the outside of the umbrella to secure your oasis in place.
3. Arrange your flowers by pushing the stems into the oasis.
4. Hang it on a hook on your door!
