Spring DIY Home Decorating: Bird Wall Art

Spring has finally sprung.  I think it may have taken so long because I kept forgetting to put away the last of the wintry decorations!  I finally swapped out the last of them this week and the warm temps got me in the mood to do some Spring DIY Home Decorating. The birds outside no longer look like angry birds and are happily chirping in the yard and they were my inspiration for this Bird Wall Art. It was easy, inexpensive, and I love how much it brightens up my room for spring!  I have included a free printable bird silhouette to make it easy for you to make your own bird wall art.

Using birds in decor brings a sense of freedom, tranquility, and connection to nature into a space. Birds symbolize various positive traits like peace, hope, and joy, which can inspire a calm and uplifting atmosphere in your home. Their vibrant colors and graceful forms add visual interest and beauty, whether in modern, rustic, or eclectic styles. Additionally, bird-themed decor is versatile and timeless, blending well with seasonal changes, especially in spring, when they symbolize renewal and life. Overall, bird art can enhance decor with their natural elegance and symbolic meaning.

Spring DIY Bird Wall Art Tutorial

Bird wall art refers to decorative artwork that features birds as the central theme. This type of art can come in various forms, including paintings, prints, metal or wood sculptures, and even mixed-media pieces. Bird wall art is popular for bringing a sense of nature, serenity, and life into a space. It often features different bird species in natural settings, such as perched on branches, flying, or interacting with other wildlife.

The styles of bird wall art can range from realistic and detailed depictions to abstract or minimalist interpretations, making it a versatile choice for different home decor styles, whether you want a rustic, modern, or eclectic look. I hope you enjoy this minimalistic design that emphasizes bird shapes or outlines. Bird stencils or templates can produce attractive bird silhouettes which make lovely wall decor.

Bird Wall Decor Craft Supplies:

• picture frame with glass removed
• card board sized to fit the frame
• burlap
• acrylic paint (to match your color schemes) and foam paint brush
• bird print
• X-Acto Knife
• twigs
• glue and hot glue gun
• paint pen

As you can see, nothing too fancy here. Just a few basic craft supples and you can make yourself some new home decor to welcome the spring season.

How To Make Bird Wall Art

Instructions for this DIY Home Decorating Project begin by covering the cardboard with burlap and securing it with hot glue. This is the base of your wall art.

Make Bird Silhouette

Next you will want to print out the free printable bird silhouette below. You can print the bird stencil by clicking on the image below and selecting the print option. I also have a free printable pdf version.

Once you print our bird silhouette template, use an X-Acto Knife to carefully cut the bird out, leaving you with a bird stencil for painting.

Position the stencil on the burlap and use the foam brush to carefully paint the bird onto the burlap.

Allow the paint to dry completely before continuing with your DIY home decorating project.

Add 3D spring Twigs

Once the paint is dry, use hot glue to attach twigs to the burlap and frame.  You can use old, dried twigs or fresh.  I chose fresh twigs with new sprouts on them.  Attached several along the bottom and then add one to look as though the bird is sitting on it.

I used a silver paint pen to add the word “Spring” across the top.  You could also use letter stencils or a cricut or even skip this but I liked what it added. I did the wording freehand to keep it more casual.

Once your paint is dry and your twigs are secure, your artwork is ready to display!  Hang it on the wall or place it on a shelf with other spring decor.  Do you enjoy DIY home decorating projects?  Have you started any for spring yet?

Creating your own bird wall art for spring is a wonderful way to embrace the season’s renewal and beauty. It allows you to personalize your decor while celebrating nature’s vibrant energy.
