Spring brings us a breath of fresh air, and this feeling can carry over into your home decorating ideas. Sunshine, pastels, and growth are popular themes for spring. This article will provide you with inexpensive home decorating ideas for spring.
Eggshell Art
Eggshells are undervalued as garbage, but they can easily be turned into something beautiful with a little creativity. Try using eggshells to create candle holders or vases for your home decorating needs. Simply break up the eggshells into smaller pieces and use glue to add a mosaic look to any object you like. You can dye the eggshells using inexpensive dye kits that are easily acquired during the Easter season. You can use watercolor paint to add color to the shells after they have been glued to your home decorating items.
Eggshell art is a fun way to add that special spring feeling to your home décor and it works well with the pastel color theme of spring. Eggshells also enhance the idea of growth and new beginnings which is popular during spring time.
Seedlings
Another inexpensive decorating idea for your home during springtime is starting some seedlings. Seedlings look lovely in teacups, eggshells, and old glass jars. If you start your seedlings in spring they will be ready in time for your to plant them in the garden in summer.
Try filling jars and other items with some stones and dirt. Then plant inexpensive seeds in them. You can even plant vegetable seedlings to transplant later. Pea plants and tomatoes look great as décor, and you can also start flower seeds or bulbs. If you choose to use eggshells gently remove only the top fourth of the shell. Then place several in a bowl surrounded by rocks or marbles to balance them. You can also place a single egg in a shot glass for a simple look.
Curtains
Spring is a good time to change your curtains; this will allow for the sunshine and warm breeze to enter your home. Lace and thin, gauzy materials are great for spring, and curtains can be made easily using fabric glue, scissors, an iron, and fabric. Sheets sell for inexpensive prices at thrift shops, and light fabric is often pretty cheap when bought in bulk.
Use the glue and iron to make simple straight edges all the way around. Make sure the hem on top edge is wider so the curtain rod can fit through it. These simple curtains add a wonderful ambiance to your home when decorating.
These ideas are inexpensive and easy to make. They take little time to complete, and they will add that spring fresh feel to your home.
