DIY arrangement made from natural materials
You can also see an original option here. Moss is used to create a carpet, so to speak, on which any arrangements can be created. Stack wooden slices on top of each other and add some flower pots. Succulents awaken in spring and are just as suitable for decoration as spring flowers.
Quick and easy ideas
This idea for making spring decorations is particularly quick and easy to create using natural materials from the forest.

Display the arrangement on a linen runner or colorful spring tablecloth.

You can also decorate them wonderfully with moss and use them as a base for other decorations. The example above shows a colorful bouquet of spring flowers in a bucket. The plate of a flower pot can also be used for this purpose.
Classic moss wreath
How about a door wreath made of moss? To ensure that the moss lasts a long time, we recommend wrapping it around floral foam. Because then you can moisturize it without any problems. In addition, the wreath should not be in the blazing sun so that the moss does not dry out too quickly. If plain moss is too boring for you, combine it with other elements such as a birdhouse, for example.

It doesn't necessarily have to be uniformly shaped, because an irregular piece also looks very nice. Then spread moss or artificial moss, lichens and any other plants, as well as a few small eggs (e.g. quail eggs) and feathers on the inside of the bark. Of course, you can also dye the eggs in advance.
Decoration in a glass
This pretty decoration was also made with bark and moss. Plant any spring flowers with bulbs in a glass container, such as hyacinths, daffodils, crocuses or small tulips. To do this, first add a layer of expanded clay to the container on which you place the flowers and their soil after carefully removing them from their pot. Distribute pebbles around it and moss in the upper area or, as in the example, real reindeer lichen (Cladonia rangiferina). Finally, add a small willow wreath and a few pieces of bark.
Creative craft ideas with flowers and flowering branches
Forsythia are not flowers, but rather bushes and the branches are also used for decoration in spring, but since this door wreath mainly features the flowers, we have also classified the spring wreath made of forsythia in the group of flowers. The branches are simply formed into a wreath and can be tied together with hidden twine or linen ribbon.
Spring flowers can of course also be used wonderfully for crafting in spring with natural materials. You can decorate an old bucket with live pansies and other plants and then use it to decorate the terrace, porch, balcony or garden.
Use a variety of spring flowers to create a fairytale arrangement for the table. The flowers can be colorful or choose from different shades of one color. In the example above, the color yellow was used, which also matches the dishes in white and yellow. A friendly interaction is created between dishes and decoration.
Feel free to use unusual areas in the house such as the chandelier. Maybe you wouldn't quickly come up with the idea of designing this to match the colorful season. Use green leaves and flowers typical of spring, such as peonies. Beautiful arrangements can also be put together with forsythia and other flowering branches.
Show off the forsythia bouquet in a different way. For example, use a metal bucket instead of a vase. With the help of a stencil you can also write on it or even paint it and make it look even more romantic. And at Easter you can easily decorate this bouquet with pretty Easter eggs and figures.
Simple yet beautiful is a bouquet that you place in a simple glass bottle. Of course, it's best to use spring flowers or flowering branches for this. You can also design the bottle additionally if you think of something interesting. Otherwise, it also makes a loop out of yarn.
Choose different spring flowers and plants and plant them in groups in such baskets depending on the type. Use baskets of different sizes and shapes and the overall arrangement will be particularly interesting. You can then decorate tables, chests of drawers or the mantel. You decide which flower colors you use.
Instead of a bucket, you can also use a wire basket. If you don't have one, you can make one yourself. And in it you then display various decorations made from natural materials. The center is a pot with spring flowers. Distribute moss, Easter bunnies, eggs or twigs around it.
If you are looking for something suitable for the coffee table, take a wooden box and decorate it with any paint and pretty flowers. Place the latter in mason jars or glass bottles so that you can provide them with enough water even in the wooden box. You can make the paint opaque or in a shabby chic style by sanding it here and there.
You are probably already familiar with this idea. Nevertheless, we would like to remind you once again this year of this wonderful way of decoration. Eggshells, which can also be colored in advance, serve as small vases for lilies of the valley, hyacinths, crocuses or snowdrops. The eggshells can also be planted so that you can enjoy the flowers for longer.
Instead of just setting up a basket or as an alternative to the classic door wreath, you can make this pretty decoration with moss and twigs for spring. Some moss, pussy willow twigs, and flowers create a pretty spring scene, finished with a nest of eggs. This is a great example where all the materials mentioned are combined together.
