There is no doubt, we all had a lot more time on our hands at home in 2020. With the news of a pandemic and stay at home orders, many people focused on making improvements to their home and got really creative. I will say that is one thing I enjoyed, the opportunity to focus on our home and creative opportunities. This year I completed several simple DIY crafty decor projects and these are my favorite. I hope they inspire you to add some fun updates and decor items to your own home.

 

 

I love creating and making home decor items. Especially when they a simple and affordable. Here are some of my favorite craft projects of 2020.

 

Project #1 Spring wreaths

I’m not quite sure why I felt the need to create 3 Spring wreaths but I had a collection of thought in my head and I think this was the best way to use that creative energy. Each wreath was created by using simple grapevine wreaths as a base. Check out this post to see which one is your favorite. How To Make 3 Beautiful And Easy Spring Wreaths

 

 

Project #2 Marble Easter Eggs

 

I was looking for something unique to add to a bowl for my spring vignettes and decided to try out this marble finish for Easter eggs. I just love how they turned out and the look of the black against all the pretty spring colors on my decor. These are faux eggs so I’m excited to get them out again this year. How To Make Marbled Eggs

 

 

Project #3 How to Create An Artisan Stone Look

 

Artisan pottery was all the rage last year and has come on strong again for this year as well. However, they can be very expensive. I decided to try creating a similar look using an old glass vase I already had and I’m so happy with how it turned out. If you are wanting to add a fun trendy piece to your decor without the expensive, this is a great project to try.

 

 

 

Project #4 Fairy Garden

 

This is such a fun project to welcome in Spring. It’s a fun one to do with kiddos too. They can learn all about gardening and use their own creativity to design it. In addition, they can learn how to care for plants and show off their beautiful creation. If you have limited space for a pretty garden or plants, making a fairy garden is another beautiful way to add some whimsey to your patio or porch. How To Create A Fairy Garden

 

 

Project #5 Homemade beauty gifts

I made these sweet gifts for Mother’s day and the recipients loved them ( I gave them to my momma friends too) I have several posts on gift ideas as well as custom tags and labels.
