Easter is the perfect time to refresh your home with bright, cheerful decor — and what better way to do it than with a little DIY magic? I wanted to add more “decor fluff” around my home without spending much money, so I got creative with items I already had. With a splash of purple paint, some printed daffodils, and a little Mod Podge, I ended up with three adorable, handmade decorations that brought a fresh, spring vibe to my space. Let me walk you through each project!
Project 1: “SAVED” Daffodil Bottle Vases
For this project, I took five empty glass bottles and turned them into beautiful, meaningful vases spelling out the word “SAVED” — a sweet reminder of Easter’s message of the resurrection of Jesus. Here’s how I did it:
Materials:
• 5 empty glass bottles
• Purple acrylic paint
• Mod Podge
• Printed daffodil images (I found some images online Pinterest)
• Cardstock letters spelling “SAVED” (I made mine purple to match)
• Ribbon or twine for a bow
• Faux daffodil flowers
Instructions:
1. Paint the Bottles: I gave each bottle a few coats of purple acrylic paint, letting them fully dry between coats for an even finish.
2. Add the Flowers: I printed out daffodil images, carefully cut them out with a craft knife, and Mod Podged them onto the front of each bottle.
3. Add the Letters: I cut out purple letters spelling “SAVED” and layered them on top of each daffodil, securing them with Mod Podge.
4. Finish with a Bow: To top it off, I tied a simple bow around the neck of each bottle.
5. Arrange the Flowers: I added small faux daffodils to each bottle for a cheerful, springy touch.
The result? A lovely, faith-inspired Easter centerpiece that’s full of color and charm!
Project 2: Mini Yogurt Jar Vases
I’ve been saving my empty Oui yogurt jars for a while now, knowing they’d be perfect for a DIY project — and Easter was the perfect excuse to transform them.
Materials:
• Empty Oui yogurt jars (or any small jars)
• Purple acrylic paint
• Floral scrap paper (or printable florals)
• Mod Podge
• Faux daffodils
• Scotch tape
Instructions:
1. Paint the Jars: I painted each jar purple and let them dry completely.
2. Add a Floral Touch: I cut up some purple floral scrapbook paper I had saved (you could print your own design too!) and Mod Podged it onto the jars for a soft, cottage-style look.
3. Arrange the Flowers: To help the flowers stay in place, I crisscrossed some Scotch tape over the top of each jar, leaving small gaps to slide the daffodils in between. This hack worked perfectly to create a balanced, tidy arrangement!
These mini vases looked adorable alongside my larger “SAVED” vases, adding a cozy, whimsical feel to my Easter display.
Project 3: Daffodil Wooden Sign Makeover
I also had a small wooden sign that had gotten a bit water-damaged — but instead of tossing it, I decided to give it new life with some paint and daffodil art.
Materials:
• Old wooden sign
• White acrylic paint
• Printed daffodil images
• Mod Podge
Instructions:
1. Revive the Sign: I painted the whole sign white to cover the water damage and create a clean base.
2. Add the Flowers: I printed, cut out, and Mod Podged more daffodil images onto the sign. The bright yellow flowers against the white background gave it a fresh, springy feel!
This quick upcycle turned my damaged sign into a sweet, cheerful piece of floral decor — and you’d never know it was headed for the trash before!
Final Thoughts
All three of these Easter DIYs were super budget-friendly — the only thing I bought was a bundle of fake daffodils. Everything else I already had on hand: old jars, scrap paper, paint, and Mod Podge. It’s amazing how you can turn everyday items into beautiful, meaningful decor without spending much money at all.
If you’re looking for a fun, affordable way to bring spring into your home this Easter season, give one (or all!) of these projects a try. Not only will you end up with unique, personalized decorations, but you’ll also enjoy the creative process — and that’s the best part.
Happy crafting, and may your home be filled with light, love, and daffodil cheer this Easter!
