Bird-on-a-Branch Spring Decor Door Hanger

Nothing makes me more excited for spring than going outside and seeing my crocuses coming up and hearing birds back in the trees!

Although it is still cold and slushy, I have hope of warm weather to come. I wanted to capture “spring” in a new door hanger.

I took a different approach to the traditional wreath for this year’s spring decor. I was even able to recycle one of the branches we just pruned!

Would you like to make your own? You don’t need many supplies, and you can easily complete this thing in a half hour or less. Ready?

Supplies needed to make your own spring decor door hanger:

A Branch (try to choose one with some “character”- knots, tiny branch off-shoots, etc)
Grosgrain Ribbon (I chose green)
White Felt
Daisy Feltie Stickers
Feltie Hot Pink Alphabet
Yellow Finch 4″ Bird (or you could choose another birdie to adopt for your branch, there are so many cute little guys…) CLICK HERE FOR CUTE BIRD OPTIONS
Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Let’s get crafting!

The first thing you will want to do is prep your branch. Cut it down to size, and clean it, if it needs it. Then choose how you want it to hang.

Set it aside, and create the SPRING pennant banner.

I made a template out of a scrap piece of paper.

When my triangle was the size I liked, I simply set it on my piece of felt, and cut my pennants. I didn’t even trace the template, because I didn’t want to mess with trace lines. You could pin your template in place if you are worried about it sliding around. Felt is very forgiving, and can be stretched slightly if you cut funny.

When you get all of your pennants cut, you can begin selecting your letters.

I chose to spell “SPRING” but you could also customize it with your last name, or another word.

Decide how long you would like your banner to be- depending on the size and number of your pennants. Measure out the ribbon you will need for the length you choose, and trim it to size. Make sure you leave space on either side to tie it to your branch.

From the Feltie Daisy Stickers, select enough yellow flowers for all of your letters.

Remove the flower centers, and glue your Pink Feltie Alphabet Letters in the center of the yellow daisies.

Although the daisies and the alphabet letters are stickers, I chose to use hot glue. My wreath is going outside, and needs to be able to hold up to the weather!

Run a line of hot glue on the top edge of the pennant, and adhere the pennant to your ribbon.

Then you can adhere your finished daisy letters to the center of the pennants using hot glue. Make sure you remove the sticker backing.

Continue with each pennant.

When all of your letters are glued into place, you can tie your finished banner to your branch.

Add your cute little bird! I used hot glue, liberally. I didn’t want him to fly away in one of our March windstorms.

Then, add additional daisies as you see fit.

You will notice in the original “supplies needed” photo I have, I included some green felt. I intended to use the green felt as leaves on this project. Imagine my surprise when the Feltie Daisy Stickers came with their own leaves! All cut and sized. Bonus! I just glued them in place.
