Spring is a time of renewal, and what better way to celebrate than with some spring-inspired crafting? From the first burst of spring bulbs to Easter eggs and bunnies, there’s plenty to get your creativity flowing this season.
If you are looking for inspiration, here’s a guide to some great craft ideas to try for spring.
A Spring Wreath
Crocheted spring flowers look beautiful on a spring wreath. With many crochet kits available you can choose from a variety of spring flower patterns from daffodils to snowdrops, or even pom pom flowers, so you are sure to create a stunning wreath to welcome guests to your home.
Easter Themes
What’s not to love about Easter? With delightful creatures such as chicks, rabbits and lambs taking centre stage, it’s the perfect time to create some cute spring animals to give as gifts or for decorating your home. For yarn colours and project inspiration, sites such as woolcouturecompany.com are a good place to start.
Spring Garments
If you are handy with a needle and thread, making your own spring wear is a fun activity. Plus, you get a bespoke garment that won’t be found on the high street. Easy projects for beginners include a simple A-line skirt, a lightweight headscarf or a vest-style top.
Embroidery
Embroidery is a traditional craft that, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, became popular in the Middle Ages. Embroidery is a great way to add spring motifs to your clothes or fabric items, and the designs and colours you choose are only limited to your imagination.
Springtime is the perfect time to get creative. Whether it’s celebrating the beauty of fresh flowers, or if you just enjoy adding a spring touch to your home, crafting is a fun way to express your appreciation of the season.
