DIY Spring home decor – crafty & unique
It’s Spring time on DIY Lifestyle so what better way to welcome a new season than with some DIY Spring Decor!
The weather here has been lovely these past few weeks and it is finally starting to feel like a new season is arriving. Spring is my second favorite season, Winter being first, sorry but I love Christmas so it’s #1 in my heart, but don’t get me wrong Spring is very very very close. Flowers blooming, birds chirping, the warm breeze ushering in; Spring is such a beautiful time. Even thought I do suffer from allergies I do not let that dampen my love for the season 🙂
ENJOY today’s post and Happy decorating.

Wall-Worthy Monogram
- Cut your desired letter shape from thick cardboard and hot-glue spools to the surface.
Wildflower Centerpiece
Spring Boot Door Decoration
Crafty Garland
Directions
Thread spools of varying sizes and hues (interspersed with colorful wooden beads) on a long piece of embroidery thread. Knot the ends and make sure it’s secure. This craft is perfect for decorating any space that needs a pop of color.
Simple Centerpiece
Directions
- Insert the stems of flowers (here, ranunculus) into the tubes of assorted spools, and arrange them around your home. For longer-lasting blooms, add floral foam, which you can dampen with a straw.
Botanical Print Dresser
Directions
- Make paper photocopies of a botanical fabric, then use a utility knife to cut out desired portions of the print. With dresser drawers closed and pulls removed, map out placement of botanicals, then decoupage to dresser using a medium-strength adhesive like Mod Podge (available at craft stores). Once dry, carefully run a razor blade between drawers so they open properly. Finish with a coat of clear acrylic sealant.

Decorated Eggs
Robin’s Egg: To create the base color shown above, add two drops of green food coloring to standard blue egg dye, and then dye egg. Once dry, dip a fine-tipped paintbrush in a small bowl of brown liquid ink (available at craft stores) and splatter on the egg.
Paper Napkin Egg: Unfold a paper napkin and cut into ½-inch-wide strips. Use Mod Podge and a small paintbrush to adhere strips to the egg, lining up the pattern and trimming away any excess napkin. Once covered, let dry, then apply a final coat of Mod Podge.
Twine Egg: Use a small paintbrush to apply crafter’s glue onto the top of an egg. Starting in the center of the top, wrap twine (we used four-ply) into a tight circle. Continue to brush on glue and wrap the egg until it is completely covered. (You will use approximately 12 feet of twine.) Trim excess.
