Isn’t the arrangement on Tracy’s door beautiful? It was created by Tracy over at Tracy’s Trinket and Treasures.
Here is my version. I created more of a spring type door decor.
I had everything for my door arrangement, the basket I wanted to use and the flowers.
Until I went to the thrift store and found this little yellow purse. I thought this would be so cute for a spring arrangement.
So I put away the wicker basket and started making my arrangement with the purse being the base.
I took some floral foam and placed it inside the purse.
For my flowers I am using.
- Dollar Tree ONION GRASS PICK
- Walmart GREEN GYPSY PICK (couldn’t find them online) 🙁
- Amazon Yellow Daffodils
Step one after I placed the floral foam in the purse I grabbed the daffodil bundle and spread out each stem.
I place the spread out pick inside of the purse. I did that with the other picks, spreading them out evenly in the purse.
I took the Onion grass pick snipping each stem off the bundle.
Placing the singles pieces of onion grass into the arrangement.
The grass was too tall so I cut the onion pieces evenly with the daffodils.
I took the gypsy pick and cut all the stems off the bundle.
Placing each stem into the arrangement.
I found the little bumble bee at Dollar General. I think he makes a cute statement on the arrangement.
I hooked his legs into the ruffle of the purse. He is tightly placed in there.
I was going to hang the arrangement on our front door with the purse strap, but it wouldn’t hang properly. Plan B, I cut the strap off the purse making a bow and placing it in the front center. To keep it on the door glass I am using a suction cup hook.
I am loving the bright yellow against our black door.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
Terrie, love your punt!! Using the purse is a great idea. I love its texture and how bright and springy it is. I’m so glad you showed to cut apart the stems. That step makes for a more natural look. Adding the bubble we was a good move too. Very sweet and pretty.
Thank you so much Carol. I love it too. I am so happy I found it. It was so fun hopping with you!
Terrie, this is so cute!! It is so bright and cheerful! I love the little bee! And, the yellow and white purse is darling!! Love it all!

Very cheerful and creative. That bumble bee is really sweet and a great addition.
Thanks Tara! I had a bumble bee last year and went to grab it but couldn’t find where I placed it, lucky for me Dollar General had them this year.
Isn’t this darling? I love it. It’s so creative. I’ll have to keep my eyes open in the purse section from now on. Precious.
Thank you Katie! I hardly ever go pass the purses but though I would that day. So happy I saw it, it is a perfect piece for my door. Love this challenge and working with you. Have a great day!

Thank you Christy. I saw the purse and new exactly what I wanted to do with it. I do love the colors, I am so ready for Spring! Enjoyed doing the challenge with you!
Your thrift store purse was a great find to use for this challenge. The colors are perfect for spring and they complement the florals that you used beautifully. The cute little bee has a fun pop of whimsy to the display and I’ll be that anyone who visits your home will delight over what you’ve created.
Hey Paula, thanks for all your sweet comments. I saw that little purse and new exactly what I wanted to do with it. I put away my basket and started my arrangement with the purse. It is a perfect spring color for sure. As always, love working with you on this challenge.
