DIY paper flower backdrop

Flowers are one of my favorite ways to decorate during the spring. While using fresh flowers in your home decor is a great way to add a pop of color and a nice scent to the room, those fresh flowers don’t last long. This year, instead of adding fresh flowers to my home, I decided to make my own. This easy DIY paper flower backdrop is one of the best ways to decorate! It looks great as a floral display or on a spring backdrop.

Tissue paper flower backdrop Variations

This simple spring backdrop is great for a variety of uses, but you could also change it up a little bit to make it fit your needs. Here are few easy variations to make this cute spring backdrop:

• Make the flowers and butterflies smaller. For a more subtle look, try making your paper flowers and butterflies smaller and adding more to the branch. This simple adjustment is great for photo backdrops because it creates a pretty background without distracting from the subjects of the photos.
• Add more branches. If you really want to make a statement with your spring backdrop, keep the flowers and butterflies the same size and add more branches to the background. You could easily fill an entire wall with branches and flowers to really create a statement with your paper flower design.
• Hang Easter eggs. To make your spring backdrop more holiday-friendly, add a few pastel Easter eggs to the branch. The eggs will add a little more visual appeal and make the design a great accent for your Easter display.
