As soon as the days get a little bit brighter, the longing for spring grows. For fresh colors, delicate flowers and the feeling that everything is slowly awakening again. With this simple DIY, you can bring this mood into your home right now – all natural and quick to make.
This small spring bowl is perfect for the dining table, the windowsill or as a loving gift for someone who longs for a little light and warmth.
What you need for your spring decorations
– A bowl with an integrated candle holder
(you can find a nice version here: at Nordic Nest). Alternatively, wax stickers will also work to hold the candle securely in place.
– A stick candle
– Some soil
– Moss for a soft, natural surface
– Early bloomers such as snowflakes, grape hyacinths, bluestem or other small bulbous plants
Step-by-step to the spring bowl
1. prepare the bowl
Add a small amount of soil to the tray. It not only serves as a base, but also keeps the plants stable.
2. insert early bloomers
Now put your early-flowering plants in the ground. Whether snowflakes, blue asters or small grape hyacinths – they all add instant color and vibrancy to the arrangement.
3. cover with moss
Place some natural moss around the plants. This makes the bowl look more harmonious and gives it that typical “forest spring” charm. It also keeps the soil underneath nice and moist.
4. place the candle
Place the stick candle in the middle.
If your bowl does not have a candle holder, you can simply fix it in place with a small piece of wax glue. This will keep it safe and stable.
5. enjoy
And your little spring bowl is ready – a natural, warm little light in the still cool season.
A small portion of spring for every location
This DIY is ideal for:
– the dining table
– the windowsill
– the home office
– the entrance area
– or as a gift for loved ones
It instantly creates a spring mood and shows how little it sometimes takes to make a room feel lighter and livelier.
