Spring Flowers Centerpiece

Spring is coming and what better way to celebrate this season than with a spring flowers centerpiece.

The Spring Flowers Centerpiece will be a warm welcoming centerpiece in your home and will also make a nice gift to give to someone.

Do you like to create centerpieces for the various seasons and holidays? Create your own spring flowers centerpiece using vinyl and your Cricut. I used my Cricut Joy to make this project.

This will make a welcoming addition to your decor for the beginning of the coming warmer weather. The best part is it can be used year after year.

This centerpiece can be given for Mother’s Day as we like to use flowers to celebrate our Mother’s. Or even a birthday present. Add a flameless candle and some vase filler to make the centerpiece complete.

You can change the colors of the flowers by using a variety of colors of vinyl. I used a combination of removable and permanent vinyl in my centerpiece to have more of a variety of colors as I am not planning to change the centerpiece.

  The next screen will be where you will select the type of card stock you are using. If you do not see the material in your material favorites, click on "browse all materials" to find the type of vinyl that you are using. For example the green vinyl, I used was removeable vinyl , click on the material selection and you will need to select "Removeable Vinyl".
  Once you have Design Space set, you are now ready to prepare your mat. I used a brayer when placing the vinyl on the mat, this helps in making sure that the vinyl is adhered to the mat and will help in keeping the vinyl from ripping or moving when it is being cut. 

Assembling the Spring Flowers Centerpiece

• Using transfer tape and parchment paper we are going to add the flower stems
• 
• to the back of the grass pieces
• 
• there are three flower stems for each grass piece

•

• 
• then place the grass on top centering the stem on the grass
• 
• turn mat over and peel stem and grass off, then using a scrapper adhere the stem piece to the transfer tape and peel the back of the vinyl sheet off of the stem
• next place the second stem on the mat and add it to the grass
• 
• once you have the second stem add the third stem to the grass
• 
• once you have all three grass pieces with stems done you are ready to add them to the vase
• using the transfer tape and parchment paper start adding the first grass piece to the vase
•

• then peel the transfer tape off of the grass and stems gently

• now you are ready to add the flower to the vase using the transfer tape
•
