Materials
1 vintage gold frame (approximately 16×20 inches)
Assorted artificial spring flowers (such as tulips, daisies, and peonies)
Greenery garland
Floral wire
Wire cutters
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Ribbon (1-inch wide, in a coordinating color)
Small decorative bird or butterfly figurines (optional)
Directions
Begin by cleaning the vintage gold frame with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt.
Lay the frame flat on your workspace and arrange the greenery garland around the inner edge of the frame, securing it with floral wire.
Cut the artificial flowers from their stems using wire cutters, leaving about 2 inches of stem for attaching.
Arrange the flowers in clusters around the frame, mixing different types and colors for a natural look. Secure each cluster with floral wire or hot glue.
Add small decorative elements like bird or butterfly figurines to enhance the spring theme, using hot glue to attach them.
Cut a length of ribbon and tie it into a bow. Attach the bow to the top center of the frame using hot glue.
Allow the glue to dry completely before hanging the frame on the wall or displaying it on a shelf.

Variations & Tips
To personalize this DIY project, consider using different types of flowers or color schemes to match your home décor. For a more rustic look, use a distressed wooden frame instead of a gold one. You can also incorporate seasonal elements, such as small Easter eggs for a spring theme or autumn leaves for a fall display. Experiment with different ribbon styles and colors to add a unique touch. Additionally, consider adding a small chalkboard or wooden sign in the center of the frame with a seasonal message or family name for a personalized touch.
