There are plenty of projects that can be done now that spring has sprung. Making sure these items are on your to-do list before the season passes by too quickly is essential. If they have not been finished yet, then the time to take on those DIY home projects is here – nothing like the present.

Making the Room Smell Great

The first thing to do is air out the house. This task should happen as soon as temperatures stay warm enough to allow for a comfortable temperature to be gained inside of the house while air flows from room to room. Some rooms need a little more help than that, though. Going with a natural room spray to liven things up is just the perfect option.

Homemade options are best because they do not contain the harsh chemicals that industrial versions do. You need a glass bottle with a spray top that will hold between four and eight ounces. Then, gather distilled water, vodka or witch hazel, and essential oils. Use 1.5 ounces of either vodka or witch hazel, and then fill the rest with distilled water. Add a few drops of essential oils for added scent. The vodka or witch hazel work as antibacterial agents for any surfaces they might touch.

Realign Support on the Couch

Furniture also needs attention after the long, winter months. Furniture should be ventilated or reupholstered as needed, but there is one idea to make that task easier. Tufting is the magical technique for reinforcing couch cushions. Tufting works to distribute filling evenly, which cushions look more modern in shape. This method is a great one to add years to a sofa’s lifespan. The best way to gain this look is to use two needles for tufting. Determining the desired look early on is essential, and it is helpful to have a paper template to work with as well.

Create Flower-Power Art

New art and centerpieces or door hangings make a great, easy way to cheer up a house for springtime. Making the piece yourself is easy and cost effective. Using tissue papers, cut out designs on the paper, and then apply these cuttings onto a white piece of paper to make floral patterns out of a simple art. Using this type of DIY craft is a nice personal touch to add in with a little amount of time and monetary efforts.

Clear Out and Repurpose Clutter in the Cabinets

Now is also a great time to assess utensils in the kitchen. Some plates might need to be replaced, and certainly, some mugs or cups might find the same fate, too. These items do not have to be tossed out. They can be repurposed for items in the garden with ease. By drilling a small hole in the bottom of a mug or cup – so long as they are not made of glass – and it can easily be turned into a flowerpot. This repurposing would be a great way to find pots small enough to start germinating or transplanting different plants around the house and yard.

Conclusion

There are so many DIY home projects that can be done around the house to make it ready for spring before it disappears into the loving warmth of summertime. Doing just a few of these tasks will lead to a house that is cleared out, fresh, and germinating in beauty in no time. These tasks can be through crafts, planting, or just by opening the windows and mixing up some homemade room spray to make things all the fresher and renewed.
