Looking for simple budget spring decorating ideas?  Here’s how to shop your house and decorate for spring using what you already have. 

Spring is a time to clean the house and get organized. But it is also a time to be creative and make home décor look fabulous and new. This is how to do it with easy and inexpensive projects.

 

Raise your hand if you are a millionaire.

I’m really sorry, friend.

This is not the post for you.

Because today? Today is all about how to decorate for spring and how to save money AT THE SAME TIME.

Two of my very favorite things.

Save your money for something much more exciting. Like a pair of stirrup pants (please tell me you are as surprised as me that they are back in style). Or a pedicure with purple nail polish. Or a really good lunch with a friend.

Today is all about shopping your house and your yard and your cupboards and using what you have to decorate for spring.

Who’s ready?

Oh, good.

Me, too.

Here are tons of budget spring decorating ideas.

1. use book pages to decorate for spring

You probably have paperback books sitting around that were headed for the donate pile or the trash pile.

Don’t toss them yet.

Use them to decorate.

You could also create a book page garland.

Or even fold a book and create art.

2. Make a spring pot

There is nothing.

And I mean NOTHING cuter than a spring flower pot.

It’s like showing winter the door and inviting spring in.

Here’s this spring planter pot I made.

Shop your house and find all the frames to decorate with for this simple budget spring decorating idea.

Then shop your house and find something ordinary and frame it.

Anything. Even a paintbrush. You can see how I framed this paintbrush here.

Everything looks so much CUTER in a frame.

Shop your kitchen cupboards for coffee filters.

spring table runner

I’m including this as a bonus spring project because this ribbon is hard to find. This is such a simple spring project and perfect for bridal showers or a spring table.

Do you know what this runner is?

It’s moss.

The kind that comes in a roll.

The kind that you pick up in the craft store and have no idea what to do with it.

Moss ribbon stumped?

Why not make a runner?

Here’s the simple DIY.
