5 Affordable DIY Nature Decor Projects
We’ve gathered the best budget-friendly DIY decor ideas that are very stylish and pretty easy to make. It’s a guaranteed afternoon of fun with your family or friends. Let’s begin!
Pinecone wreath
Pinecones are versatile, and also very popular in craft projects and decorations. Especially in winter and around Christmas, they become the main characters of many houses.
If you want a charming and rustic wreath, in your next walk gather a few pinecones and arrange them in a circular pattern. You can use hot glue to attach them to a wire frame and add other branches to make it fuller.
You can also spray paint them to match the other decorations in your home or leave them as they are. They last a long time, and they’re pretty.
Pebble photo frame
Long gone are the days of boring photo frames! Get inspired with pebbles and create a unique, wonderful, nature-inspired art with them. Use strong adhesive so you can attach the pebbles around the frame and cover it completely.
This will look especially good if you have a beach-themed room, or if you go for rustic in your decor and ambiance. This is great for gifting and for adding a touch of nature to your best pictures.
Leaf stamped tablecloth
Did you know that by using leaves from your garden you can stamp a tablecloth? Pick out a plain one, and make sure the fabric dyes well.
Then go to your garden or even to the park and collect leaves of different shapes and sizes. Dip them in fabric paint and press the painted side to the tablecloth to create a natural pattern. Choose the colors that match your home, or gift it to a nature-lover friend!
Twig candleholders
If you want to create rustic candle holders, twigs are a great choice. Take a handful of them and cut them to the same height as a glass candleholder or a jar.
Then, using hot glue, attach the twigs around the outside of the glass. When that’s dry, put the candle inside and enjoy a unique touch in your candle-lit environment. If you’re really into crafts, you can even make your candles in matching colors and add scent to them.
Seashell wind chime
If you live near the beach, or even if you just love beach-themed spaces, a seashell wind chime is a project you need to start. Take several seashells of different sizes and colors. Using a small drill, create holes at the top of each shell and thread them with a string.
Then you can use driftwood to attach these strings and hang it outside to enjoy it. It also makes a good wall decoration if you don’t have space outside!
As you research for your next project, don’t forget to stay safe. The DIY industry in the U.S. is forecast to reach USD 680 billion by 2025, so it’s possible to get scammed if you’re not careful.
Don’t share personal information on online forums, and make sure to stick to reputable websites to buy the materials you need, like hot glue or wire. You can get a VPN like Surfshark to remain anonymous while you start your next creative project.
Final thoughts
If you want a touch of nature in your home, you can do it yourself. It doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated; it can be an activity you enjoy. With these five ideas, you can create beautiful decorations and express your love for nature.
Whether you choose a pinecone wreath or twig candleholders, the important thing is to enjoy the process and create a cozy space for you to be in.
