Hello and happy Saturday friends! There’s something about the shift into spring that always makes me want to freshen up my home. After months of cozy winter decor, I’m usually ready for lighter colors, fresh flowers, and anything that makes my space feel a little brighter.

1. Painted Mason Jar Flower Vases

One of the easiest ways to bring spring into your home is with flowers, and I love using mason jars as simple vases.

For this project, all you need are:

Start by painting the outside of the jars in soft spring colors like pastel pink, sage green, light blue, or cream. Once the paint dries, you can add twine or ribbon around the rim for a little extra detail.

Fill them with:

These look so cute on a kitchen table, coffee table, or windowsill.


2. DIY Spring Wreath

A wreath instantly makes your home feel more seasonal, and making one yourself can be surprisingly simple.

You can start with:

Arrange the flowers around one side of the wreath for a more modern, asymmetrical look. I personally love using things like greenery, daisies and pastels for a spring feel.

Hang it on:

  • Your front door
  • A wall hook inside your home
  • Above a mantel or shelf
I made this one for Christmas a few years back and really loved it: Wreath Idea


3. Decorative Spring Tray

If you have a coffee table, kitchen island, or entry table, a styled tray is such an easy way to add seasonal decor.

Start with a tray you already own and add a few spring-themed items like:

  • A small candle
  • Mini potted plant or flowers
  • A decorative bunny or seasonal figure
  • A small stack of books
  • A cute mug or teacup

The key is layering different textures and heights so it feels cozy but not cluttered. How cute is this mug?? Definitely adding it to my wish list. 


4. Pressed Flower Wall Art

This DIY is simple but looks beautiful and delicate for spring.

You’ll need:

  • Fresh flowers or greenery
  • Heavy books for pressing
  • A simple picture frame

Place the flowers between pieces of parchment paper inside a book and let them press for about a week. Once dried, arrange them inside a frame for a piece of natural art.

This works especially well with:

  • Daisies
  • Baby’s breath
  • Ferns
  • Wildflowers

5. Spring Candle Jars

If you already have empty candle jars lying around, don’t throw them away!

Clean them out and repurpose them as:

  • Mini planters
  • Tea light holders
  • Small containers for flowers or greenery

You can decorate them with paint, ribbon, or even simple labels to match your spring decor style.


Final Thoughts

Decorating for spring doesn’t have to mean buying a whole new set of decorations. Sometimes the most charming pieces are the ones you make yourself.

These DIY projects are simple, budget-friendly, and easy to customize depending on your style. Plus, they’re a fun way to spend an afternoon getting your home ready for the new season.

If you try any of these ideas, I’d love to know which one is your favorite!
