Before you know it spring will be here. Are you looking for home decor ideas for spring or Easter home decor? I love creating home decor DIYs, and easy DIY centerpieces. Do you? This year I thought I’d get a jump on planning my spring decor, and share an idea I have for an easy spring centerpiece.

Easy Spring Centerpiece

Making your own home decor DIYs can be budget-friendly. Especially if you have a few craft supplies already on hand. You might remember my Spring – Easter Centerpiece from last year? I shared how you can decoupage your wooden eggs, and create a centerpiece with them.

This year, I pulled out a few pieces from my fall centerpiece to use for decorating this spring. These past projects were so easy to make, and everyone loved how it looked displayed on the table.

I spotted this decorated hurricane candle holder, and thought it was such a pretty decoration for an Easter table. But, then I remembered I have a hurricane candle holder from all the DIY weddings for my family we had several years ago. Why not make this? You can if you are crafty. If not, you could try it’s easy just follow the instructions below. Or you can head over to shop pretty spring-Easter decor. Would you make it or buy it?

How do you paint speckle eggs?

You need to first paint your egg one color with your acrylic paints, and let it dry. Then add speckles with a dark brown acrylic paint, by first watering down your paint. Use watered down paint (75% paint / 25% water) or slightly more for speckling your eggs. Test on a blank paper first, to check the consistency of the paint. Too wet, too drippy. Not wet enough, won’t speckle. These two video tutorials are good resources if you have never tried it.
