Spring couldn’t come soon enough in our eyes (the rain and gloomy weather has felt A LOT so far this year, hasn’t it?!). Roll on the brighter days, pretty flowers, chirping birds, and fresh energy. And if you’re thinking the same, here are four projects for some spring creativity, all designed by creative women with small businesses here in the UK…
Bringing some spring flowers into your home is a great way to instantly lift your mood. And with this beaded pot or vase cover crochet pattern by Lucy from Crafting By Lucy (Instagram: @craftingbylucy), you can add a creative touch to your bright and beautiful blooms.
It’s a quick and easy project, and you can make the pot/vase cover in any colour you choose.
Plus, if you enjoy this pattern by Lucy, you might want to check out her book: Creative Modern Crochet – with 12 practical and fun projects.
Daffodils are one of the most synonymous symbols of spring in the UK – with their cheerful colours and happy little heads bobbing in the breeze.
So, why not enjoy some spring creativity with this daffodil paper quilling kit by Jess from TillyViktor (Instagram: @tillyviktor).
The kit comes with full instructions and photo guides, templates, and quilling paper strips – but you will need a few extra bits to get started, such as a quilling tool and glue (all available on Jess’s site).
Want some spring creativity in a subtle way? This floral doodle embroidery kit by Steph from Oh Sew Bootiful (Instagram: @ohsewbootiful) feels fresh and fun with a modern and simple colour palette and design – but still with a little nod to spring flowers.
The kit includes everything you need to create your project (except a pair of scissors – although, you can add them too if you like).
Alternatively, if you already have some supplies, you can get just the pre-printed fabric or the digital pattern instead of the whole kit, if you prefer.
This mini flower counted cross stitch kit by Megan from Meloca Designs (Instagram: @melocadesigns) is such a simple and sweet spring project.
The design is only just over two inches square, which means you won’t have to wait long to get the joy of seeing your stitching progress. It also means this kit is a great introduction to cross stitch for beginners.
The kit includes full instructions, 14 count white aida fabric, a needle, and threads. Perfect for getting started.
Fingers crossed it won’t be long before spring brightens things up but, for now, we hope these creative projects help put a smile on your face.
