12 Beautiful Spring Crafts to Make and Sell

Inexpensive spring crafts to make and sell!

Hi everyone, I’m sharing a few spring decor crafts I made to decorate and sell in my antique store booth.

I like to have a mix of vintage and seasonal handmade items, and spring is one of my favorite times to get creative.

Whether you have an online store, an antique store booth like I do, or you’re planning for a spring crafts show, I hope these DIYs and thrift-store upcycle ideas spark inspiration!

1. Welcome Floral Clipboard Sign

Add an old drawer handle to a clipboard to hold a bouquet of silk flowers to make a beautiful spring Welcome sign. I also added a brass door knocker that was in my craft bin of antique handles and bits.

You can stencil ‘welcome’ or pick up a small sign from the dollar store for this DIY. If you’d like to learn how to make a vintage clipboard, check out my post –> How to Make Vintage-Style Clipboards.

2. Decorative Birdhouses

Pick up a few craft-wood birdhouses at Dollar Tree to decorate and sell! I decorated these with recycled greeting cards and glued dowels to them for perches.

3. Repurposed Wooden Spindle Carrots

To make these adorable, decorative carrots, I used a mix of new spindles that I purchased on Amazon and a bunch that I salvaged from an old broken table.

I love how these vintage-inspired carrots came out and I can’t wait to sell them by the bunch in my booth! Check out the full tutorial and all the details on how to make them here –> DIY Repurposed Wooden Spindle Carrots.

4. Spring Muffin Tin Wreath

Turn an old muffin tin into beautiful wall art!

This muffin tin DIY is an upcycle of an upcycle. In an earlier post, 40 Clever Ways to Repurpose Old Kitchen Items, I used this old muffin tin to display painted Easter Eggs. Now that my kids are older and not into painting eggs, sigh 🙁 I decided to reuse the tin once again to make this adorable spring wreath.

Since the muffin tin was already painted a light blue, all I needed to do was add a wreath made out of wire garland and a ribbon to hang it by. I bought the olive velvet ribbon here on Amazon, and the miniature birdhouse ornament is one of two that I found at my local antique store.

5. Paris In Spring

This Paris-inspired piece sold quickly in my antique store booth, and it was easy to make. Just paint a wood cut out of the Eiffel Tower and a few silk flowers to the side. Below are more details.

To get this beautiful blue-green and bronze hue I used Metal Effect Patina, and you can get the same wood cut out here on Amazon or in different sizes here on Etsy.

6. Flower Market Window

I bought this old window for just a few dollars at an antique store. It was missing a pane of glass, but I knew I could turn it into a beautiful spring decor piece. It sold in my antique booth in just a few days. Check out the full post for all the details and free SVG cut files –> Flower Market Window DIY – An Upcycled Window Project.

9. Dollar Tree Bunny Topiaries

I spotted these cute moss bunnies and mini clay pots in the same aisle at Dollar Tree and knew I had to make topiaries out of them! The finished size is about 7 inches tall, and they’re the perfect size to use as a tiered tray decoration or on a shelf

To make a mini bunny topiary, you’ll need mini moss bunnies about 3″ tall (link to similar bunnies here on Amazon), green floral moss, floral foam, 2.5 to 3-inch-tall terracotta pots, sticks from outside, chalk paint (optional), and a hot glue gun. For decorations, wrap leafy garland around the stem and hot glue a tassel or zig-zag ribbon to the top of the flower pot.

To make a topiary, start by painting your terracotta pot with a wash of white chalk paint (water mixed with paint – optional). Cut a piece of floral foam to fit inside your pot. Push a stick into the bottom of your bunny and then into the foam of the flower pot. Use hot glue as needed. Finish by hot gluing floral moss to the inside of the flower pot to cover the foam base.

10. Handmade Bird’s Nest Decoration

Make a handmade bird’s nest to decorate a spring wreath or pair it with a thrift store dish or pedestal bowl!

I made three to decorate and sell in my antique booth. Check out the full tutorial here –> Learn How To Make a Decorative Bird’s Nest.

11. Spring Ruler Box Magnets

Pick up a few yardsticks to make these adorable magnets.

Here I added Spring miniatures, but you can also sell them as magnetic holders for small succulents or air plants! Get more details on this project here –> How to Make Ruler Box Magnets.

12. Easy-Sew Stuffed Bunnies

These adorable bunnies are easy to make and a great way to use up scrap fabric. Print the free pattern and get more details here –> Free Easy-Sew Stuffed Bunny Pattern.
