Spring is upon us, and it’s the perfect time of year to freshen up your home with cheerful décor. A few pops of color can make quite a difference in the look and feel of your living space. If you’re interested in pursuing DIY projects this spring, take a look at the fun and simple options we share below. Each tutorial is beginner-friendly, but experienced DIY-ers will enjoy these projects as well.
If you enjoy sitting out on the patio with a cold drink during the spring and summer months, DIY brushstroke coasters could be the best project to start with. These beautiful brushstroke coasters only require a few materials, including air-dry clay, a rolling pin, a biscuit cutter, acrylic paint, paint brushes, and matte sealant. DIY coasters can be decorated in any color you’d like, but pastels are especially fitting for spring.
Looking for an eye-catching piece to hang above the mantel or display in the dining room? This cheery floral wall sign is an excellent option that can be completed in just a couple of hours. It’s a great alternative to a spring wreath, and it’s the ideal starter project for new DIYers. For this project, you’ll need a 2’ x 4’ wooden board, three to four types of fake flowers, a glue gun, ½” plug caps, and wooden lettering. Simply place the wooden letters on the surface and glue them atop the plug caps, then trim the stems from the artificial flowers and adhere them to the board. Once the flowers are in place, allow the board to dry before displaying in the desired location.
If you’re looking forward to decorating with fresh flowers this spring, you’ll need the perfect vase to show them off in. If plain glass containers aren’t your style, consider these cheerful color blocked wooden vases. After choosing your favorite style of vase, stock up on adhesive wood sheets, craft paint, and painter’s tape to create these fun containers. Making two to three containers should take less than an hour, and the finished product will look gorgeous placed on your desk or as a centerpiece for the dining table.
