Summer is here, and it’s the ideal season to finally begin those DIY projects you’ve been considering. Whether you’re crafting solo or with family, whether you enjoy creative crafts or construction tasks, summer is perfect for getting hands-on. Spend an afternoon with your kids making popsicle stick creations, or dedicate a day to building beautiful planter boxes for your garden—there’s no better time to get started. Here are a few DIY ideas you can tackle right now:
- Popsicle stick birdhouses
- Paper bag kite
- Layered sand art
- Popsicle stick animals
- Mason jar citronella torches
- Seashell wreath (an amazing option for those who live in coastal towns)
- Craft your own lanterns: Using string or fairy lights inside. Decorate mason jars with pressed flowers or using tin cans and puncturing holes in them with a nail and hammer.
- Planter Boxes
- Beach towel tote bag
No matter which craft you decide to tackle this summer, take it slow and enjoy the process of creating something from scratch. It’s fun for everybody and helps with de-stressing after a long day at the office or school. Looking to tackle a bigger DIY?
