Ah my favorite time of year has arrived. Time to open up the windows, blow the cobwebs out, and contemplate a spring cleaning spree but drink tea outside in the garden instead.
Spring has sprung and so that time-old itch to change up the decor and do some seasonal decorating is back.

2. Twig Candle Holder
If you are doing yard work in spring, this is the perfect project to use some of the waste nature has left behind. This time of year my garden is full of fallen twigs and branches from the winter’s storms. I’ll also be doing some clipping and pruning on my bigger bushes.
All those twigs can be used to make these pretty, rustic candle holders that look perfect on a side table in your spring living room decor.
3. DIY Leaf Wreath
All you need for this pretty wreath is a wire ring and some freshly cut green leaves.
I used laurel leaves, you might have fresh leaves from a magnolia tree. Boxwood would work too. Any kind of fresh, green leaves that don’t dry out too quickly would work.
