This step-by-step spring centerpiece DIY guide will walk you through how to pull together the right materials and craft a delightful bit of DIY spring decor you can enjoy for years to come.
Materials
Here are the materials you’ll need to create your easy spring table decor:
- A base or container of your choice
- An anchor piece
- Ribbons in assorted widths, colors, and textures
- Floral picks and sprays
- Other seasonal embellishments, as you choose
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks, or floral wire
- Scissors
Directions
1. Gather Your Materials
Choose Your Container

Begin by selecting a container for your spring centerpiece DIY project that fits your style and your table space. Ideas include:
- A simple footed bowl or urn
- A shallow tray
- A rustic wooden box or pail
Select an Anchor Piece
Ideas for your spring centerpiece could tie into seasonal holidays like Easter, or simply reflect the fresh color and beauty of the season. Papier-mâche bunnies are adorable on DIY spring table centerpieces for Easter meals, while sprays of tulips or lilacs represent the greatest showstoppers of spring gardens.
Gather Embellishments
As your last step before starting your DIY spring centerpiece, gather floral picks, ribbons, and other embellishments. It’s these little touches that will give your creation its unique personality!
2. Build Height, Texture, & Detail

Layer for Verticality
Start with your container in place and situate your anchor piece. Around that, you’ll want to add other large items like candles or tall stems. Next, you’ll work out from the center with medium-height DIY spring decor elements. This is where you’ll layer in picks and sprigs of greenery. Smaller accents can be placed around the edges.
Add Visual Interest With Texture
Next, you’ll work ribbon throughout your DIY spring centerpiece. Sheer and satin ribbons in light pastels or vibrant shades add both pop and softness. Play with different textures. Wired ribbons are perfect for shaping loops and bows, while supple velvet adds rich luxury.
Include Charming Accents
The most successful DIY spring table centerpieces can be as much about the details as the focal point. Tucking in little accents like ornaments, flower buds, mini nests, or bird figurines brings one-of-a-kind charm to your project.
3. Spruce Up With Finishing Touches

Stand back and review your spring centerpiece. DIY crafting is never complete until you’ve made some tweaks!
Our Tips:
- Trim ribbon tails to different lengths for a natural, flowing feel.
- Fluff wired spring florals so they look more lifelike.
- Rotate your centerpiece to make sure it looks great from every seat at the table.
4. Now, Enjoy!
Creating a spring centerpiece is a fun DIY project that brings the freshness of the season into your home. With the right blend of ribbons, florals, and finishing touches, you’ll see your spring centerpiece ideas spring to beautiful life!
