Simple Spring Planters...

I love having our urns/planters outside of our house filled with oversized lush flowers or spruce tips, depending on the season, so I hate it when spring rolls around and the spruce tips are dead - brittle and brown - and it's still too early for my summer blooms - because in MN you never know when it'll snow again! So, I made these super cheap, simple planters. I reused the birch tree branches that came in my winter planters, added pussy willow stems and some faux flower stems (you could also do them without - see pictures below) and viola, I have some temporary spring planters to make the outside of the house look pretty for the meantime!
