Are you looking for a pretty decoration for the spring season? Then this creative idea with handmade light arch and tulips is just right!

Classical napkin technique
The light arch is ideal for designing with classic napkin technique. First, prime the back wall with white craft paint.

For the napkin technique you need the top printed paper layer of the napkin. Coat the dried back wall with napkin varnish and apply the napkin motif over the entire surface. Remove any protruding paper with a scalpel. Coat the entire surface again with napkin varnish.

Paint the base plate with antique green craft paint. After both wooden parts of the light arch have dried through, screw them together. Insert the string of lights from behind into the pre-drilled holes in the back panel.
Special visual effect: 3D butterfly
Also prime a piece of embossing foil with white craft paint and stick the butterfly motif of the napkin on it.

After drying, cut the butterfly, turn the embossing foil with the designed side down onto a soft surface and model the wings into shape with an embossing pen.

Then glue the 3D motif to the back wall with craft glue.
Pot of tulips
Paint the terracotta pot with paint; here, too, you can decorate the top edge with napkin: apply napkin varnish on a lightly primed base, lay the napkin motif (the top layer of the napkin) over the surface and then coat again with napkin varnish.

Fill the pot with stick foam, cut the artificial flowers to an appropriate height, arrange everything and cover the stick foam surface with Iceland moss. Fix the moss with a little craft glue.
Fertigstellung
Shorten the fence to the desired length and glue it to the edge of the arch of lights.

Decorate the arch of lights with a rocking chair or similar "eye-catcher" and place tea light jars in the specified hollows.
