I have a serious obsession with crafting and summer is the perfect time to take this obsession to a whole new level. The long summer days just scream DIY. So here are 5 projects you should do this summer.
1. Knot Studded Earings
These are an awesome DIY project and they definitely will not take all day to do. Using 18 gauge jewellery wire wrap the ends around needle nose pliers. Make sure to file away the edges of the wire and you are good to go!
2. Hot Gue Gun Canvas
This is a super cool twist on the regular old canvas. Using a hot glue gun draw out a design or quote and then just paint over it. This adds a really awesome 3D effect to any canvas.
3. Picture Frame Calender
I have personally made this and I love it! The glass allows you to erase the dates and add new ones. The first one is made using paint chips and the second is made with scrapbook paper. Both of these are great DIY and organizational projects.
4. Add a Chiffon Bottom to an Old Sweater
Since you don't have to wear them for a while now is a great time to jazz them up! You could use either pattern fabric or just plain fabric. Either way, I have done this to a lot of my own sweaters and have loved it!
5. Turn a Tire in an Ottoman
I a moving into an apartment next year and am obsessed with all things home DIY. When I stumbled on this ottoman I knew I had to make it this summer. You start by wrapping nylon rope around the tire in a criss-cross motion and then add the sisal rope. You could add a sealant and use it outdoors as well!
Happy crafting!
