12 Favorite Summer Craft Projects

Summer is in full swing. I am loving it! Warm summer days are excellent DIY and craft project weather. Here are a few of my favorite summer craft projects that are not only clever but useful too!

How to make lavender extract – I use it to make green cleaners like my homemade room air freshener spray recipe.


 
Recycled wine bottle sun catchers



How to Hem Pants Into Shorts – I can’t find a pair of shorts in the store that fits and isn’t Daisy Duke short. This summer I used this simple trick to turn thrift store pants into the perfect pair of shorts. This is a no sew option too.


How to fix a hole in shorts without sewing – Helpful to save the perfect pair of summer shorts you made using the pants into shorts tutorial when you rip them the first time you wear them on vacation.


I get compliments on these shorts especially when I wear them to rescues events.
