Creating fall décor is super easy with things you can find in your backyard. Items like pine cones, acorns, and leaves. Preserve leaves and add them to a branch, sprinkle pine cones with cinnamon, and add acorns to the base of a candle holder. Love mercury glass but not the price? Buy a pumpkin candy dish from a thrift or discount store and spray paint it with mirror spray paint to create the look yourself.
Winter is a time for several holidays and a wonderful time to create a cozy space. you can make your own Nutcracker soldier out of terra cotta flower pots with a little paint, or maybe you want to make a snowy wreath out of coffee filters. Buy a couple of dollar store wine glasses and use some glass paint to create beautiful birch/aspen tree glasses. Add glitter to some old vases, stack them and you have a snowman.
In the spring bring colors and life into your seasonal decor. It’s easy to add some window clings to a candle holder you have for St. Patrick’s Day. Find an ugly ceramic bunny for cheap at a thrift store and paint or decoupage it into something fabulous. Paint over a dollar store door hanger and make a sign for the Easter Bunny.
Summer is a time of BBQs, being outside, and spending time with family. It is a great time for creating decor to celebrate this. Put messages for a loved one in a recycled bottle and add a solar light top to pay tribute to those you miss. Add some stickers to mason jars and create the perfect vases/utensil holders, luminaries and more for the 4th of July.
