Welcome the New Season with Affordable Spring DIY Projects:

Perhaps it’s the lengthy New England winters, but I always enjoy creating Spring DIYs!

What I do know is that I have plenty of ideas for you to explore this Spring.

Why not make a wreath? This Forsythia Spring Wreath is a fast, affordable project for your front door this Spring! You’ll only need a grapevine wreath base along with a few stems of forsythia and pussy willow. I’ll also explain how to create a sweet bird’s nest so you can decorate your wreath as I did.
