HOW TO MAKE YOUR HOUSE FEEL LIKE SPRING THIS WEEKEND
Looking for easy ideas for decorating your home for spring? Got an hour or two this weekend? Here are some of my favorite spring decorating projects that use simple things, take no time at all and are most definitely fun and pretty.
Yep, it is true….
It is definitely so….
The calendar says so….
And so does the weather forecast….
Spring has arrived! She is a bit shy, hides her pretty self behind the clouds from time to time, but nonetheless the birds are chirping, nests are being built, blossoms are blooming and the sun is gaining ground.
Ah my favorite time of year has arrived. Time to open up the windows, blow the cobwebs out, contemplate a spring cleaning spree but drink tea outside in the garden instead.
Spring has sprung and so that time old itch to change up the decor inside is back.
If you know the feeling here are some wonderful spring decor ideas for you to be inspired by.
Tulip Spring mantel
This is such an easy but beautiful idea for how to decorate your mantel for spring. Gather up some clear glass bottles, add one or two tulips to each of them. Line them all up in a row. Place a large mirror behind it all, and call it a day!
See here how this spring mantel looks from different angles.
Twig Candle Holder
If you are doing yard work in spring, this is the perfect project to use some of the waste nature has left behind. This time of year my garden is full of fallen twigs and branches from the winter’s storms. I’ll also be doing some clipping and pruning on my bigger bushes.
All those twigs can be used to make these pretty, rustic candle holders that look perfect on a side table in your spring living room decor.
And a pretty twig vase is here.
DIY Leave Wreath
All you need for this pretty wreath is a wire ring and some freshly cut green leaves.
I used laurel leaves, you might have fresh leaves from a magnolia tree. Boxwood would work too. Any kind of fresh, green leaves that don’t dry out too quickly would work.

Hanging Glass Bottle Vases

Attach a ring to some small bottles, tie them all to a string and hang your flower decor on a wall or over a door.

Numbered Pots
Your future self will thank you if you do this little project. Years ago I painted some simple terracotta pots white, cut out some vinyl numbers and stuck them on. Those numbered little pots went all over the house and came out nearly every season one way or another. They were so easy and fun to decorate with.

DIY Pom Pom Blanket
For those days and nights when spring gets a bit chilly….
Make a light throw blanket with pom poms and felt crosses. The base is a simple fleece blanket that is nothing more than a piece of cut fabric.

Chicken Wire Cloche
Give your simple spring bulbs some extra pizzazz by placing them under a homemade cloche. Everything looks better when it is shown off underneath a cloche. And I love the opposition of the rustic wire and the sweet flowers.

Watering Can Tulip Arrangement
If you like Farmhouse style decor, you will love this quick and easy spring decor idea. A simple galvanized watering can is used as a vase for some vibrant red tulips.
I think this particular watering can is from Ikea but several years ago. You can use any kind of watering can for this idea. If the opening is too wide simply place a smaller vase inside or use some floral foam or a rolled up bunch of chicken wire to hold the stems in place.
