DIY Spring Craft Ideas Using Repurposed Items

This time of year is the hardest part of the year for me.  Spring comes to my friends blogs about three months before we ever see it.  It makes the wait much to long and I often find myself getting very blue and impatient waiting.  No fresh tulips or outdoor gardening to enjoy, but these unique DIY Spring decor ideas can be made right now.  Spring can come early for those of you lucky enough to be American, but for us frozen northerners trying a couple of these projects will be a fun way to enjoy what we can while we wait.

Not sure why but I love this idea because of the natural wood patina, it gives this Spring arrangement an organic feel, sometimes doing less is the best choice.

This DIY Spring wreath idea is so unique.  Its so dramatic against the dark front door.  Like the wooden shoes I think the original soft green of the metal box best left just as it was.

This DIY flower garden globe is so striking and different.  Old globes are not something I am drawn to, but this one is very appealing and eye catching.

Spring cleaning takes on a whole new meaning when you repurpose an old metal dustpan into a DIY Spring wreath.  The colours of this wreath are so vibrant and fresh against the soft aqua of the front door.

Like so many men my Hubs loves to barbecue so I created him his very own barbeque grill sign.  It hangs on our back patio privacy wall, and he just loves it.

These repurposed mason jar lids are so practical and pretty for in the garden.  Placing these little signs in a flower pot. or even a fairy garden.

Just last weekend I found some old tart tins at the thrift store, now I need to find a pretty dowel to paint. This is so easy and special, my favorite part is how she used bird seed to fill the bottom tart tin.
