Faux hanging plant
This is such a cheap way to add some greenery to your space! If you are like me (a plant killer) then this craft is a must-try!
HOW CUTE IS THIS! All you need is the 3 materials in this section!

This is used for the base of your faux plant
Janlynn 10 Inch Diameter Bamboo Embroidery Hoop
You'll want a couple packs of these to cut up and wrap around your embroidery hoop
Mainstays Artificial Ivy Garland 5 feet Green
You'll want string that is tough enough to hold your craft - use this to tie onto the base and hang it!
Hyper Tough 190' Jute Twine Natural, 7 lb Working Load Limit, Brown, Rope
Felt pennant flag
If you're as chronically online as me (LOL) then you have probably seen these all over tiktok and pinterest!
So easily personalized and would make a great gift!

If you want a multi-pack of colors, this is a good, cheap option!
Felt Craft Sheets
If you want to buy each color individually, these are only 32 cents each and come in tons of colors!
Hello Hobby Blue Felt Craft Sheet, 9" x 12", Soft Fabric
You'll want a sturdy fabric glue since felt doesn't typically like to stick - I've used this for past crafts and it works like a charm
Liquid Stitch Mini No-Sew Adhesive Fabric Glue
This part is optional, but when I do this craft I want to add lace to mine to make it cuter!
Hello Hobby White Scallop Loop Edge Lace Sewing Trim, 3/4 in x 3 yd
Again optional, but I think adding some stickers would make it so adorable!
5mm White Faux Pearl Flatback Embellishments
You'll need something to hang it with! I would double up and use the fabric glue to attach the command strip to the pennant
Command Large Replacement Strips
Fabric photo frame
I love adding a bit more personalization into my decor, so when I saw this I immediately added it to my list!
Super easy but adds a ton of charm!

Walmart has some really great options for smaller cuts of fabric!
Fabric squares
You could easily thrift a picture frame to use for this craft, or walmart has some really cute/funky ones! This is the one I want to use :)
Mainstays 8x10 Picture Frame – Gold Wavy Tabletop Photo Frame
You might have seen in other crafts that this is my fav fabric glue!
Liquid Stitch Mini No-Sew Adhesive Fabric Glue – 0.5 oz
Walmart is a cheap option for printing out your favorite photos to use for this craft!
Walmart Photo Center
Beaded plants
Another plant craft! This one definitely seems like its for a marathon craft session and requires some patience - The result will be so worth it though!
I originally saw this on Craftionary, so these were the pictures I'm taking inspo from!

These come in multi-packs so you can make many! (You could even paint the pot for added flare!)

This is what you cut down to size and glue inside the pot to stick the beaded plant parts into!

Once I stick all the pieces into the flora foam, I am going to glue down moss to cover the foam!

You'll need a plain doormat and can get this at most craft stores - even walmart sells them!
MAINEVENT Blank Coir Doormat 30x17 Inch, Plain Crafting Outdoor Welcome Mat for Outside - Walmart.com
I'm personally only using black for mine, but this brand comes in tones of colors! IMPORTANT: we want to use “multi-surface” paint so that way it lasts!

These are my inexpensive, tried and true paint brushes I use for most painting crafts!
