Rustic Seed Packet Print

Oh spring, where for art thou, beautiful spring? I know that your arrival isn't scheduled until late March, but it's been a really rough winter around here and I need a bit of sunshine right now.

As luck would have it, that elusive season is the theme for today's Ten On The Tenth hop, giving me the perfect excuse to indulge my craving and spring ahead just a little early, regardless of what that groundhog said.

How perfect.

Well, almost.

You see, while I may be ready for tulips and daffodils to pop up and say hello, my world is actually still covered in ice and snow. Oh sure, I've been forcing spring with grocery store cuttings, but the idea of planting or making something pastel for display would be way too out of place right now.

What to do...

I sat down at my desk to put my thinking cap on and it didn't take long to come up with an idea, because the seed packet print that I had purchased ~ ahem ~ in the fall of 2016, was starting at me. It was still in its wrapper, neglected, pathetically propped up against the tile backsplash.

It was way too pretty for its surroundings. Those blooms deserved to be showcased.

And now I knew exactly how.

A few years ago, I transformed an old wooden hanger with book pages. I use it all the time, to display magazines, books and tea towels.

It was the perfect partner for my seed packet. 

I grabbed a few of my mini craft clothespins that have been hibernating in the craft armoire and clipped the print to the hanger. Tricky huh?

Tiny Craft Clothespins

I love these little guys. They are super versatile and totally adorable...and make jobs like this one a snap.

I thought about adding a ribbon or a twine bow to the base of the metal hanger hook, but the artwork is truly so bold and colorful (my evening photos do not do it justice), that I left it alone.

There were many places to hang my oversized seed packet in my sweet cottage, but the living room needed a bit of spring most, so I hung it on the fireplace. 

You'd never know it was freezing outside with this burst of warm spring color inside.

And all for under $10. 

Spring in the middle of winter. 

Just don't tell that groundhog.

  3. What a cute, cute idea, Kim!!! I am anxious for spring, too. I was headed to IN (7 hour drive for me) this weekend but got stopped by 6-20" of snow between here and there. lol Hopefully, next weekend. IN is a bit ahead of us when it comes to warming up. xo Diana

  6. I am also anxious for spring, but it is most likely 2 more months away in central NY! We just reached over 100" snow and I am losing my mind..lol. This is a cute idea for spring - I love anything that pictures flowers!

    1. Over a 100” of snow?? Oh Patti, I would have to move! We have had some pretty snow packed winters recently where the snow lasted from October to April and was piled up to the window of my car, but I don’t think we ever reached that number. You are a brave winter soul!!

  10. This is such a great idea, Kim. If someone doesn't have a print they could easily print on out from a free printable or one of those websites with free out of copyright art. :)

    Your work and your writing is always wonderful!

    1. Oh my gosh, Kris, I so wish I had a magic weather wand! It would be 90 sunny degrees here, today…and in your neck of the woods, too. We’d teach that groundhog who’s boss! And 18”?? Oh no. I am shivering just thinking about it. Here’s to a quick melt!! xoxo

  17. that is really adorable!

  18. It's truly the little things that can make our day. This is a great touch of spring. Now I have a different way to use those wooden hangers. Maybe I can find one at Goodwill. I did before, but then I donated them back when I couldn't think of anything creative. It will be awhile before I get out of the house though. I stepped off a curb last Saturday and rolled my foot, breaking two bones. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. I'm about to go stir crazy after just a week of sitting with my foot propped up. Ugh. But grateful it wasn't worse.

  19. I'm hoping I can get my hands on an old hanger like yours! And you're so right-it's great for hanging a lot of things.I didn't know that they had seed packet prints on Amazon! One year I made Christmas ornaments from seed packet art that I found online. I did have them printed at an office supply store and they turned out great. I really like the size of yours, though!

    1. I am a huge fan of seed packets, Jane. I have a black thumb, but that doesn't stop me from buying the seeds! I fall in love with the artwork. Your ornaments sound lovely. I have to go peek at them!

  21. Very nice. That print has a vintage feel to it. Very appealing. We missed the last big snow that hit Minnesota. My kids and my brother who live in the Suburbs of the Twin Cities got dumped on but we had just the cold. We have had several very small accumulations since then but barely enough to cover the grass. I am ready for warmer weather.

  25. What a great idea! I love the way this looks. I know everyone back east is having horrific winter weather, but out here in California we’ve had nothing but July-like weather since last summer. I’d like to have little cool, rainy weather before I start thinking about spring (and my roses could certainly use some rain!).

  34. I'm sorry you're having such a rough winter, Kim. No complaints here, as it's been pretty mild compared to the 8' of accumulated snow we had last year, along with cold, cold, temps. Still, I'm ready for spring. Your spring seed packet hanging is very cute. Nice job. Hugs.

  36. Such a clever way to display a pretty graphic, Kim, I like it a lot. We had a lazy start to the winter, no proper rain until January and warmer than usual. It's picked up in recent weeks and the wild flowers are coming out in full force now. I saw a whole field of red anemones and did not have my camera with me. I will not live that shame down in a hurry.
