Thrifty Repurpose Ideas For Spring Decorating

With Spring in the air I’m ready to update my home decor and bring that feeling of newness and awakening to my surroundings. That means it’s time to create fun and unique decor.

There is no need to buy new stuff when decorating for Spring or any season. Look around your home for old, outdated items to repurpose or visit your local thrift store and pick up a few items that catch your eye. 

When reading through these home decor ideas, think about what you have at home to work with and make something unique. No need to find items to copy these projects exactly. Make them your own.

Nautical Style Planter

The planter is actually a glass jar painted with textured paint and then wrapped in sisal rope. The textured paint is thick and it covers in one coat. This nautical style decor looks great in a coastal cottage or beach home. 

Party Cake Stand

This unique and fun cake, cookie, or whatever stand was assembled using thrifty parts gathered over time. It is perfect for any party display. Tip: When you have a shiny metal bucket, soak it overnight in vinegar to age it.

Basket Centerpiece

This basket has a cool shape and a coat of paint gave it a fresh look just right for Spring. A bit of greenery and colorful details added to the basket and it is perfect display for the coffee table or even as a dining room centerpiece.

Spray Painted Succulents

The faux white succulent and vase that inspired this project had a flat or matte sheen. I went to the local home improvement store and purchased Krylon Fusion matte finish paint in white. The white succulents are so pretty!

Mason Jar Candleholders

These candleholders are super cute and the kids can help you put them together. They might need a little supervision using the glue gun. These votive holders make a great Easter display.

Solar Chandelier

 

This solar lamp is made from an old outdated chandelier. The new look is lovely. Solar lights from Dollar Tree were added to the chandelier light bulb cups. What a great repurpose idea!

Colorful Succulent Planter

An old wooden box was given new life with Salmon color Chalk Paint! The box looks like a terra cotta pot! Succulents look great in the pot, but I wonder how a few pink flowering plants like the ones in the flower bed behind the planter would look in the newly painted pot.

Tea Tray

This thrift store tray was really dark and drab. Sarah painted it with spray paint and then painted the raised details with pastel colors. The new soft look is so much better than the before! This is a fun thrifty home decor DIY idea anyone can do.

Daisy Candle Ring

The daisy candle ring is a vintage piece I found at my favorite junk store. The iron piece came from the thrift store. It is so much fun to find bits and pieces that work together to make new home decor.

Yard Art

Bowling balls are easy to turn into upcycled junk art for your garden. And you can find them at thrift shops and yard sales. I bought a couple from an online auction. Decorate them with colorful stones or glass.

Painted Clock

This thrift store clock was dark and outdated. I think it was a piece from Kirkland’s or The Bombay Company. A coat of spray paint and a bit of distressing gave the clock depth and character. 

Welcome Door Decor

Make a fun door display to welcome your guests. A wood pool ball rack and a repurposed sign along with sprigs of pink flowers come together in a unique way.
