DIY Spring Decor That’s Green (and We Don’t Mean Just the Color)
Let’s face it: not everyone wants to spend $$$ on plastic tulips wrapped in more plastic. And honestly, Earth called — she’s tired. So if you're ready to bloom into your eco-era, here are DIY spring decorations that are low waste, high sass, and totally doable with what you already have.
Jarred for Life: Upcycled Mason Jar Vases
Got jars? Great. If not, go raid your recycling bin. A little pastel paint, some twine, and boom — shabby chic flower vases that scream “I’m sustainable AND cute.”
Why it rocks (literally): You’re saving jars from landfill hell and giving your shelves the soft girl spring energy they deserve.
Old T-Shirts, New Wreaths
We see you hoarding those “paint clothes.” Time to sacrifice one. Cut colorful tees into strips and wrap them around a wire hanger you bent into a circle. Instant eco-wreath.
Bonus points if you hot glue on some old buttons, dried flowers, or whatever fell out of that junk drawer.
Tin Can Planters — Because You Fancy Now
Smashed tomatoes? Cute. Clean that can, punch drainage holes in the bottom, and wrap it in recycled paper or washi tape. Add dirt. Add plant. Add bragging rights.
Pro tip: Paint them with chalkboard labels so your herbs can finally tell you who they are.
Egg Carton Blossoms
Yes, you can make flowers out of those cardboard egg cartons. Cut, paint, glue, repeat. They won’t wilt and they definitely won’t end up in the compost pile too soon.
Stick them on garlands, wreaths, or pretend you're the Martha Stewart of the post-apocalyptic garden.
Newspaper Bunting (For Maximum Cottagecore)
If you haven’t canceled your newspaper subscription yet, congrats — you’re trendy. Cut triangles, paint cheerful slogans, and hang them like your life is a Pinterest board. Bonus: they biodegrade. Unlike glitter.
Final Thoughts (aka the gentle guilt trip)
Spring is all about new life — so maybe don’t celebrate it with decorations that take 500 years to decompose. These ideas are cute, crafty, and won’t make Mother Nature side-eye you.
You can be festive and responsible.
Yes, even with a glue gun in hand.
