1. Pressed Flower Suncatcher: Catch Some Sun and Color

DIY Spring Crafts for kids and adults

Who doesn’t love a good suncatcher? Pressed flowers are like nature’s confetti, and they make the perfect addition to your windows to let in the light and some vibrant colors. Plus, every time the sun shines through, you’ll get to admire your beautiful creation!

What you’ll 

need:

  • Fresh flowers (wildflowers, daisies, or any of your favorite blooms)
  • Wax paper
  • Iron
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon (for hanging)

How to make it:

  1. Press your flowers between two sheets of wax paper, then carefully iron them (make sure to use a towel over the wax paper to avoid any mess).
  2. Once the flowers are pressed flat and dry, cut them into fun shapes or arrange them however you like.
  3. Attach the flowers to clear contact paper or use a frame to make your suncatcher.
  4. Hang it up in a sunny spot and watch as it comes to life when the sunlight shines through!

2. Paper Flower Wall Art: Bring Spring to Your Walls

Why settle for regular wall art when you can have a garden on your walls? This paper flower wall art is the perfect way to add a pop of color and creativity to your space. Plus, you can customize it to your heart’s content—so let your inner flower child shine!

What you’ll need:

  • Colored paper (construction paper or cardstock)
  • Scissors
  • Glue or tape
  • Pencil for tracing shapes
  • Picture frame (optional)

How to make it:

  1. Cut out flower shapes from your colored paper. The more vibrant, the better!
  2. Layer the shapes to create dimensional flowers, securing them with glue or tape.
  3. Arrange the flowers on a piece of white cardstock in a fun design.
  4. Frame it for a fabulous piece of spring wall art—or just hang it up as is!
