Spring is officially in full swing, and the well known expression “April Showers brings in May Flowers” is certainly starting to show in our part of the country! The sunny weather and colorful blooms outside my window have been an inspiration to bring the beautiful spring weather into my crafting. I’ve collected a few of my favorite floral inspired crafts over the years to help you celebrate May Flowers too!
Pick a few of your most colorful flowers from the garden and preserve them into these beautiful bookmarks. This way in the wintertime when you’re stuck inside reading, you’ll have something beautiful to get you through the cold weather.
Keep the flowers in your garden and create these beautiful fabric flowers instead. This way, you won’t feel as bad about wearing some beautiful floral accessories.

About: I am a work at home mother of two living just outside Kansas City, KS. I started crafting with my oldest daughter to spend more time with her and to get her to focus more. And I have to say it has been a great experience for us both. As a matter of fact I have created a craft monster since she tells me several times a week “Let’s do a project MOM!” My youngest is finally at an age where we can start crafting with her too, but then comes the challenge of coming up with something a toddler can do that a preschooler will enjoy also… oh the challenges of a crafting mom. I hope to inspire other parents to craft and create things with their kids.See Authors Posts (20)

My mother has to be one of the hardest people to shop for. So with mother’s day fast approaching, I thought it would be nice for the kids and I to make her something special. She has always LOVED bird watching and has a ton of bird houses and feeders around her yard.
That is why I thought she would love these tin can flowers. I think they are so pretty and will brighten up the yard just as a decoration. They also work great as a bird feeder, we have had them in our yard for about a week and the birds are all over the place. I have seen birds that I have never noticed before come to eat our bird seed out of these feeders.
I had to do all the cutting of the tin cans. Even though the girls could not make these flowers totally on their own, they are still so proud that they made them and are so excited about giving them to grandma for Mother’s Day. It is the perfect gift for my mother who has everything!

On the first day of May fill these cute little paper cones with homemade treats, flowers and candy. Leave them on the doorknobs of neighbors anonymously to brighten their day and celebrate the coming of summer. This is a great way to let children give to the adults in your community.

Spring is in the air and Easter is just around the corner! From outdoor crafts to Easter Eggs to decor, we’ve had a lot of fun coming up with new projects to welcome the wonderful, colorful spring season. We’re looking back on our favorite springtime projects at Think Crafts, and can’t wait to make them again this year!
Birdie Buffet
In 2010, we welcomed the chirping birds to our backyards with these adorable recycled bird feeders.
Seed Bombs
Last year, we brought flower “bombs” to vacant lots and gardens with clay seed bombs.

Who doesn’t love delicate and elegant, even fun and funky silhouettes? I love to use them in my scrapbooking and as digital art on my website and blog; as well use them to make stencils for my many craft projects. I found a quick and easy way to make my own silhouettes using photos I took myself. I’ll show you step by step on exactly how I did it.
