Summer Crafting- 9 Beautiful Projects!
I love to create recycled crafts and crafts based on nature. There are very inexpensive ways to bring color and beauty into your surroundings! Here is a compilation of beautiful, colorful projects. Many take just pennies to make. Bring a bit of summer inside with some of these fun projects!
DIY Wire Wrapped Tree Suncatcher
This tutorial uses a kit to create a beautiful wire wrapped suncatcher. However, you can create your own with wire and pretty beads! Check out the tutorial for lots of great tips on how to make this unique beauty.
Recycled Magazines
Create colorful paper reed frames by rolling magazine pages! This project is easy enough for the kids to do and makes a fabulous Father’s Day gift while recycling old magazines at the same time!
This tutorial comes with two free patterns to download. While an adult would probably need to cut out the design, children could have fun gluing down the colorful recycled magazine strips! Fun project for an afternoon.
Plastic Spoons
Look closely and you will see tons of plastic spoons! A great conversation piece and relatively easy to put together! Fun tutorial.
Disposable Cookie Sheets
Believe it or not, these pretty tiles are made from a disposable aluminum cookie sheet! Tutorial includes embossing instructions along with 12 free patterns!
Here we take the disposable aluminum cookie sheet embossing to a whole new level! 3D Art! Fun tutorial and free pattern is available with Sitcom subscription.
Toilet Paper Tubes
This may look like wrought iron, but it is in fact toilet paper tubes! This tutorial includes the free patterns to make this set of wall art. A great way to recycle those toilet paper tubes!
Light Bulbs
Made from burnt out light bulbs, these pretty suncatchers totally brighten up a window!
Rocks
And finally, I added my small touch to nature by painting some found river rock in beautiful paisleys! This project is fun to do and adds lots of color to your rock gardens and potted plants!

I have been following your site for a while and I just love your projects. We used to do the full time RVing for a couple years also. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for all your great ideas. I will keep following.

Hi! First of all, I love your website. I actually did the Faux Tiles with my 10 and 11 year olds and they loved it! We have another class to finish but they came out well. Also, I updated my subscription but I can not get the fish pattern. There is nowhere to click to down load it. Is there a way to get it?
Wow these are pretty! Thanks for posting. Hello from Wonderful Wednesday.
