Chilly weather and tax day may have us feeling down about the slow arrival of spring, but adding some creativity in seasons of waiting (in this case, waiting for spring weather and tax returns!) gets our DIY juices flowing and makes the time pass just a bit more quickly. We’ve been pinning some out out-of-the-box and inexpensive spring DIY projects and today we wanted to highlight five of our favorite ideas. We can't wait to get to work and make these projects come to life in our own homes!

DIY PLANT STANDS
We are big fans of adding natural elements to the interior of homes (read: plants and flowers), and these DIY plant stands inspired by Martha Stewart only fuel that "plant fan fire". Talk about beautiful! All you need to create these beauties on your own is a galvanized tomato cage (or two) and a can of gold Rustolium spray paint! Ready to DIY? See the entire list of steps>>

DIY CACTUS ROCKS
Allergies can be a bear, especially as spring flowers begin to bloom! Some of us are even prevented from bringing live plants - even succulents - into the home due to the risk of an allergy flare up. These DIY cactus rocks are cute, easy, and are a great option for bringing that plant "look" to your home. Have kids at home? This project is simple enough to do with them, too. Plus, it's a great way to spend time indoors until spring weather arrives and sticks around. Get the DIY instructions HERE  >>

DIY WATER COLORED PILLOW COVERS
We've said it many times, but a room can never have enough pillows! Whether you're looking to add a pop of spring or some extra cushiness, pillows are the perfect cure. That said, we're always on the lookout for easy, DIY pillow cover projects for our handmade pillow inserts. When we stumbled across this DIY water colored pillow cover we were SOLD! Beautiful, easy, and a fabulous spring DIY project that can be carried out both indoors and outdoors. Check out the directions HERE>>

DIY SUCCULENT POTS
Succulents made their appearance into pop culture and decor a few years back, but they don't seem to be planning an exit any time soon! Adding a variety of potted succulents to sunlit areas of your home is the perfect way to bring life into any room! As soon as we say these adorable, easy-to-make succulent pots, we knew it was only a matter of time before they made their debut in our own homes! For a full DIY outline, go HERE
