2. Spring Garlands

Garlands add instant seasonal charm to mantels, doorways and windows. For a kid-friendly option, create paper flower garlands using pastel cardstock cut into simple flower shapes. String them together with thin ribbon or baker’s twine, spacing flowers a few inches apart for an airy effect.

For those who prefer a more natural approach, dried citrus garlands capture spring’s freshness. Thinly slice oranges, lemons and grapefruits and then dry in a low-temperature oven or dehydrator. Carefully thread string through each slice, alternating colors for visual interest. In addition to brightening up your space with color, these garlands infuse subtle fragrance.

3. DIY Birdhouses

Simple birdhouses invite feathered friends to visit while adding rustic charm to outdoor spaces. The best part? You can make them without woodworking skills. Pre-cut birdhouse kits provide the structure, allowing you to focus on decoration.

Paint your birdhouse using weather-resistant acrylics in colors that complement your garden or porch. Consider adding spring motifs like flowers, leaves or butterflies. Then, add a clear sealant to protect your artwork from the weather. 

If you love the charm of birdhouses but don’t necessarily have a yard to showcase them, you can still create and enjoy a delightful Gem House from Diamond Art Club®. These whimsical, sparkling homes make for enchanting spring-themed decor, especially for those living in apartments or without the room for a traditional birdhouse. Plus, they're a safer option for kids since all the pieces are pre-cut to fit together beautifully!

4. Tissue Paper Flower Bouquets

Tissue paper flowers provide all the beauty of fresh blooms without wilting. Plus, making your own is way cheaper than going to a florist! To create your paper bouquet, start by layering several sheets of tissue paper in complementary colors. Fold accordion-style and secure at the center. Then, gently separate and fluff the layers to form flowers.

Experiment with different petal shapes by cutting the folded edges. Rounded cuts create carnation-like blooms, while pointed cuts resemble daisies or sunflowers. Mix flower sizes and colors for natural-looking arrangements.

Kids love this craft, making it perfect for family spring activities. They can keep their creations or share them with loved ones for Easter or Mother’s Day.

5. Pressed Flower Projects

Spring brings abundant flowers — perfect for pressing and preserving. Place blooms between absorbent paper inside heavy books in a dry area for two weeks until completely flat and dry.

Use your pressed flowers to create botanical bookmarks, framed art or decorated stationery. Arrange them on cardstock and then laminate or seal with clear adhesive paper for durability. These thoughtful handmade gifts capture spring’s ephemeral beauty.

6. Spring Terrariums

Create living miniature landscapes using clear glass containers filled with soil, small plants and decorations. Making spring terrariums is fun for all ages and levels for creativity while maintaining easy care requirements.

Select beginner-friendly, moisture-loving plants like ferns, moss and small flowering varieties like African violets. For a whimsical touch, add miniature garden accessories, colored stones or tiny figurines. These self-contained gardens thrive on windowsills, bringing spring greenery inside regardless of outdoor weather.
