Summertime and the living can be so easy (even in a virtual world)…especially when you’re all about making time for fun DIY projects! This time of year is great for taking on upcycling; it’s even better if you have some space in your home, apartment, or even a general outdoor space in which to be creative.

Create art for your home by transforming an old frame into an eye (and sun!) catching stained glass window. With craft paints for glass and a black Sharpie, you can make unique pieces that are great for gifts or to give to yourself! This also makes a memorable family friendly activity that everyone can join in the fun!

Transform your piece from a diamond in the rough into one fit for a queen (or king!) using jewel tones. You won’t sing the blues when you use a shade of sapphire, you’ll show the world you are ready for the royal treatment.

From sunsets to bird feathers, from coral reefs to rose petals, Mother Nature certainly knows how to make masterpieces all around us, big and small. Tap into her earthly talents to create your own wall art. With this easy and wallet-friendly project, you will use leaves to “leaf” their mark on your pieces. Nature-inspired stencils are timeless and welcoming. And spray painting is easy and fun!
