Sea Fever Recycled Bottle Vase
By Benetta
Turn an empty oval shaped bottle into a sea themed vase, ideal to celebrate the summer months! This recycled craft will add a great décor element to a beach house.

This LED light fixture is fun and easy to make, and will look beautiful outside at your summer barbecues when the sun starts going down. They also work great indoors. I like to put some around the bathroom for bath time. :)

You can make this cute little trinket box for your child using egg cartons. They can store little precious things they like, such as rocks, beads, coins, etc.

Buying handmade edible cake and cupcake toppers is incredibly expensive! My friend wanted some for a party and saw they were $40 for a small set. I jumped in and made a bunch for a fraction of the price. If you can handle making shapes with Play Doh, you can totally make these. Follow along with my sushi ideas, or try your own favourites!

Planning a road trip? Family gathering? Going to the park? Hanging out with friends or just a game night at home.
Home Sweet Home Framed Leaves Wall Hanging
By 15mhhm15
From our first flower bouquet in our home, I saved the flower fillers caspia and Israeli ruscus green. I actually visioned the greenery combo pressed between glass, but it was harder than I thought. Then, I compromised and came up with this, framed leaves with a cute sign that reads Home Sweet Home. This frame is being hung in our living room.
Toddler Handprint Monkey Father's Day Card
By 15mhhm15
Here is a cute and sentimental card you can make with your toddler to give to dad. My daughter loves making crafts with her handprints, so this was perfect to make for Father's Day.
By attosa
This is a super fun to make edible craft that will look awesome on your table. It's almost too cute to eat!
By 15mhhm15
We would love to have a garden in our backyard, but supposedly there are gophers. We decided on having a raised garden bed and after looking at the costs of already built raised garden beds and ready to purchase and install yourself garden beds, they were definitely out of our budget!
Old Gift Cards as Paper Creasing Tool
By 15mhhm15
Instead of tossing out used up gift cards or old credit cards that expired, you can use them as a paper creasing tool. They help you crease papers easily without hurting your fingers/nails. I keep a couple cards in my crafting area and they come in handy.
By Sandi/Poor But Proud
I made this for a friend's new grandnephew, Luciano. It's time intensive, but I love how it turned out.
Two Birds in a Floral Wreath Adult Coloring Page
By Benetta
Here is the ideal "free" coloring page for the warmer months! This page features two birds surrounded by a floral wreath. It is a great page to frame or even to use as the paper for a decoupage project ~ just think how lovely it will look at the bottom of a tray?
By katrine2706
Detail is important in art. Giving details to your work adds interest to viewers. This craft might be a simple one, but by giving extra effort on folding, it should look better than any paper figures.
By lnygaard
I found an old window screen, attached dried herb bundles, and screwed old door knobs on the bottom for a unique decoration for my garden room.
Stamp or Potato Print Pictures
You and children of any age can make these simple paintings with just some construction paper, paint, and stamps (or cut potatoes).

This is a cute and easy project for gardeners or even for kid projects that gives you lots of extra planters for all your newly seedlings or propagated plants!

This cute and thoughtful "Get Better" jar that will also be practical for the recipient afterwards. The jar can be reused.
By ShirleyE
There are plenty of lovely jewellery items available to buy for little girls, but very little for boys. This is a cute wristband for little boys to look super cool. It has a sliding knot to make it easy to wear and it is quick and simple to make.
By Babette
Do you need a quick basket for just about anything?
I love painted flowerpots, and I think in the spring they make a fun statement. One of the most popular outdoor motifs is watermelon. I have watermelon cups, plates, and pitchers, so I decided that I wanted to make watermelon flowerpots to match.
Portable Wall Pencil Sharpener
By vanislegirl2013
I enjoy adult colouring. I have a pencil sharpener that mounts on the wall, very inconvenient. My balcony was being replaced and I saw the plywood being removed and an idea struck me, portable pencil sharpener base.
By tiffanytallent1981
I am not big on wearing jewelry because my skin is so sensitive. However, I do enjoy earrings, even though it hurts to wear them. It is silly for me to have a jewelry box though because all I have are those earrings. Instead, I made an earring holder out of craft sticks.
By ShirleyE
This pretty brooch is easy to make and involves no sewing. Brooch backs are available from most of the major online shopping sites and are cheap to buy. This should only take you an hour or so to make.
By Sandi/Poor But Proud
Hornets and wasps are territorial. When one sets in the other pretty much doesn't. So, to keep both away from my balcony, I crocheted a faux hornets' nest to keep my balcony "nasties" free.
Make these cute invitations for your next summer celebration. Watch this video and learn how easy they are to make.
Bridal Shower Watermelon Lighted Centerpiece
This would make a cute centerpiece on the food table. In addition, you can use the watermelon that you scoop out for fruit kabobs or a fruit salad.
By April Rogers
You can make your own knitting loom and make yourself a beautiful poncho even if you don't know how to knit. It is that easy. Once you get started you will be making all kinds of things.
From Freezer's Floor to Garden's Door
By Deb
Someone's trash is another woman's treasure! I found these freezer floor grates at a local salvage yard for $5.00. They were just the right height (about 2 feet) for keeping the bunnies from their breakfast! (My vines!)
These striking cards are surprisingly easy to make when you choose simple, bold images such as flowers to paint. Pasted onto card stock, they make an enchanting gift for a mother or beloved friend.
