Happy April! Today I’m joining some of my blogging friends to show you some quick and easy spring decorating ideas. 10 minutes is all you need to complete these pretty DIY projects and add a little spring to your home! You can find all of the projects and links at the end of the post, but I’ll be starting with this simple spring terrarium…
I actually got the glass terrarium {along with some other goodies from Canadian Tire!} for our patio this summer. BUT, the patio is no where near ready to go and I really wanted to use that terrarium. So a spring terrarium it shall become!

One of the easiest things to change up each season is your table centerpiece. It really doesn’t have to be much, and I especially love pieces that you can just swap out the fillers. I can see lots of other uses for this little terrarium in the future. Maybe a little herb garden for our summer patio?
I don’t have too much luck with live plants so I decided to go faux on this one. I cut up a flowered stem that I already had {I think I got it at Michaels last year??} and “planted” it in some dirt that I grabbed from our garden.
I added a couple of little clippings of greenery from our backyard to the bottom of the terrarium just to make it look a little more realistic.
I then added a couple of jars and a few ceramic white birds to complete the look. The smaller jar is filled with a couple of different salts and the larger jar can hold some fresh blooms, cutlery, napkins, or whatever suits my fancy! 🙂

Your terrarium makes a great centerpiece. It was smart to use some natural elements from your yard along with the faux blooms. It really looks pretty!
Thanks so much Carol!

Very pretty idea! I have little luck with live plants too 😉
If only they didn’t require water… 😉
Great! Very beautiful!
Thanks Irina!
Your terrarium is really pretty. I tried to make a living terrarium a few years ago but it molded. I love your idea of using faux plants so that that doesn’t happen.
I never even thought about mold! Faux plants for the win! 😉
Jenn,
I love this.
My mom gave me 3 big apothecary jars for Christmas and they’re gathering dust. I love the jars but didn’t know what to do with them. I’m inspired to make a spring centerpiece for our annual Mother’s Day brunch.
The 10-Minute decorating idea theme is a hit.
