Been super busy with taking care of parents, my own health, the IRS in between work!! We had a Spring Fling at the office this past Monday and I always want to turn our conference room into something special for the occasion. With Spring in mind, I created balloon flowers and pinwheels.
This is a view from one end of the tables. I had three sets of balloon flowers in between sets of pinwheels, all in spring colors.
This is a close-up of one set of four in between the flower balloons. I used one large pinwheel (6" square) and four smaller pinwheels (5" and 4") and varied the spacing and heights. To fill in the lower area of the styro foam that I used to anchor everything, I purchased those cute green pompoms balls at Walmart. They came on a sprig so I cut them apart to use as filler and of course, chocolate filled plastic eggs that my co-worker, Jannie, helped to fill and decorate. The rosettes in the center of the pinwheels are made from Tim Holtz rosette die and I just punched a 1" circle of cardstock to add the finishing touch!
Another set of the pinwheels showing the variety of color and printed paper. You can see that in some instances the rosettes are monochromatic and in some, I used contrasting, yet matching colors for the rosettes and their centers. This is another set with picture taken stepping back a little to get a sense of the individual set. You can see the conference room chairs in the background. I used wire-edged green ribbon to cover the raw edges of the styro foam and it just happened to match the pompoms and grass! I love it when things come together that way!! It was meant to be!!
The picture below is right outside the conference room where our buffett table is set up. Took a quick shot from an angle to show you the 14 other single pinwheels (6") lined up along the bulletin board. You can also see a little more of the balloon flowers I added to the ends of the table.
Everyone loved the decorations .... within minutes after the party was over the pinwheels and flowers were gone to everyone who wanted one. It is always so delightful to me when everyone enjoys what I create.
Thank you for stopping by..... Happy Spring!!
