Il primo giorno di primavera è di pochi giorni di distanza. La vita qui in Colorado è ingannevole in questo periodo dell'anno. Abbiamo avuto temperature negli anni '60 e '70 ultimamente, gli alberi sono in erba e fiori sono in fiore. Springtime in the Rockies, però, significa neve! March and April are typically our wettest months of the year and we’re bound to have a big snowstorm here soon. I’ve lived here my whole life and still end up getting tricked by this weather sometimes. While it’s nice out I really love to do a nice deep Spring cleaning (check out questo blog post from last year for some Zero Waste cleaning tips) and then decorate. That way when the snow comes, I remember that it is actually Spring and the 70s will return.
Here are some of my favorite DIY Spring decorations:
- A dried flower wreath
- Fairy gardens (check out this tutorial from Divine Lifestyle)
Divine Lifestyle created this cute fairy garden. I just love these for a nice indoor decoration!
- Origami flowers
- A small wooden box full or pieces of branches, fallen greens, pinecones, ecc. They’re a great way to bring some simple decoration and bring outdoors in. (Try to gather items that have already fallen). This also becomes a fun sensory play box for kids.
- Fresh herbs (try mixing some into a flower bouquet)
- Try adding a couple new mirrors to help open up a space and bring in light
- Wind chimes made from old silverware, tin cans, and other metal scraps
- Eggs~ Did you know you can blow out the inside of an egg? (Here’s a tutorial) Get some beautiful multi-colored eggs from someone locally and use the shells as decorations.
- Decorate a branch with dried or paper flowers and put in a vase for a modern decoration
