10 of the Best Spring Do It Yourself Projects

Spring is a great time to plan some DIY projects to complete around your home! Today I’m pulling together 10 of my favorites that I think you’ll enjoy!

With the help of these linked tutorials, even beginners can complete any of these DIY projects! All processes and supplies are also linked within the posts.

Number One | Topiaries

Faux trees are a surefire way to bring a little bit of spring inside! Whether you prefer a lavender bush or an olive tree – I’ve got the tutorial for you!

Number Two | DIY Self Watering Window Box

If you live in a climate is ready for plants to be transplanted or started outside, this water distributing window box is the perfect DIY for a vintage English cottage feel.

Ours is hung on the outside of the window that is in our stair-case. I love looking out the window and seeing cheery blooms looking back at me!

Number Three | Book Covers

These are great if you’re a) wanting a little bit of variety on your bookshelf, or b) if you might be wanting to disguise some needed books that don’t have pretty covers of their own.

Number Four | Faux Concrete Bust Planter

This was one of my favorite DIY projects from last spring! And surprise… she’s made out of a styrofoam form!

Number Five | How to Pinch Pleat Curtains

What could make a sewing project this spring more fun…? Ending up with beautiful new pinch-pleat curtains when you’re finished! These are a great beginner sewing project because it’s all straight line hemming! The pinch pleats come together easily with the correct hem tape and hooks!

Number Six | Hymnal Book Page Runner

The first time I made a book page runner was for my daughter’s Pride & Prejudice birthday party, and then I did my first hymnal page runner at my Mother’s funeral in honor of her love for playing the piano.

I decided to use another hymnal page runner for my Easter decorations last year – and loved it so much I not only included it on my mantle again this year, but I also included it in my Spring Decor Boxes!

What are my Seasonal Collection Boxes?

This spring I launched the first of my Seasonal Collection Decor boxes! These are collections that are mailed directly to you and contain a selection of my favorite decor and DIY projects that coordinate with each of the specific seasons!

There are still a handful of the first ever spring boxes available now, but they’re very limited, and once they’re all sold out; they’re gone! Next year’s spring box will contain a new assortment of items!

If you’re seeing this post after the spring boxes have sold out – you can still join the waitlist below to be notified when next season’s boxes are available!

Number Seven | Faux Wood Painting

This technique has proven itself to be useful over the years! I first used it to change a shiny brass chandelier into something a bit more subdued and vintage for our bedroom, and then more recently I used the same process to cover over an unsightly shade of blue paint on the cutest wicker basket!

Number Eight | Knock-Off Ballard Designs Bulletin Board

I made my daughter a version of this bulletin board years ago, and then promptly realized I wanted one in our room, too! It makes the best landing place for sweet cards, pictures and seasonal decor!

If you’re looking for a sweet, FREE spring printable – how about my vintage flash cards!

Number Nine | Simple Ticking Lumbar Pillow with Ruffles

This is another beautiful and quick sewing project that would be great for even a beginner! Find a fabric that sparks joy and coordinates with your spring decor and make a pillow cover in your favorite size!

Number Ten | Transfer Images to Wood Using just Wax Paper & A Spoon

Last, but certainly not least – transferring images to wood are a great way to add a bit of vintage charm to an otherwise plain wooden crate or box!

I loved styling my freshly labeled crate out on our porch on top of the thrifted lockers I painted with Fusion Mineral Paint!

I hope these Spring DIY projects have been an inspiration for you and give you something fun to plan ahead for in the coming weeks!
