I don't know about you, but spring has hardly felt like spring and we're already looking forward to summer! Bring on the hot weather and summer activities! If you need a little boost of summer excitement, here are a few quick craft projects to help you bring that hot weather vibe!
- DIY Beach Tote: Use a canvas bag and decorate it with colorful fabric paint, adding beachy designs like palm trees or seashells. Or of course, a classic nautical stripe is always in style if you want to sew one yourself! Top it off with rope handles and you're ready for the beach!
- Summer Wreath: Create a wreath using natural materials like driftwood, seashells, and bright flowers. Hang it on your front door for a warm welcome!
- Outdoor Candle Holders: Gather glass jars and decorate them with twine or ribbon or burlap! Place votive candles inside and enjoy the cozy ambiance on your porch or patio. Those warm summer nights are dying for this cozy project.
- Pineapple Planter: Cut off the top of a pineapple and scoop out the fruit. Fill the hollowed-out pineapple with soil and plant your favorite succulents or herbs. Or you can take a plain white planter and paint it pineapple style! (don't forget other fun summer fruits, like watermelon and strawberry too!)
- Tie-Dyed Clothing: What is summer without tie dye? It's so nostalgic, and takes us back to summer camp and camping trips. Use fabric dye to create a fun tie-dye pattern on a t-shirt, tank top, shorts, canvas bags, etc, the possibilities are endless! Perfect for summer festivals, camping, or beach days. Get creative with your colors and tie-dye patterns for a fun fresh twist on old-school tie-dye.
Don't forget when you finish your projects, give your craft room a little love and organization. As always think about making your space peaceful and functional for your next round of incredible crafting!
