3 DIY ideas to Spice Up Your Room for the Summer
hey guys, Crafty here. I don't know about you, but I'm always finding new ways make to make my room more colorful, especially during the summer! here are 3 easy DIYs that you can do to spice up your room for summer:
1. Mason Jar Vases
you will need:
•a mason jar (you can get them at craft stores)
•bright colored paint (I wouldn't go with glass paint. trust me.)
•flowers (I went with fake ones but you can get real ones)
what to do:
paint the inside of the jar with a large sponge or brush, making sure to cover all of the sides. let it sit out and dry for a few hours or overnight. once it dries, put the flowers in it and you're done!
2. "Today I Want To:" Board
what you will need:
• a picture frame
• patterned picture/scrapbook paper of your choice
• a dry erase marker
what to do:
take off the back of the frame. measure the glass to the picture/scrapbook paper and cut it to fit. put the paper behind the glass and secure the back of the frame. write "today I want to:" on the top of the board with a dry erase marker. every night write things like:
" inspire somebody"
" meet Beyoncé"
or whatever you want to do the next day. and remember you can always look on our summer bucket list for inspiration
3. Quote Pictures
what you will need:
• a picture frame
• a computer ( and printer)
• scissors
what you do:
find a quote you like; you can make it with a word processing program on your computer or just search for one online. if you choose to look for one online, some good things to search for are:
• tumblr quotes
• Inspirational (insert favorite celebrity here) quotes
you can also look for quotes on Pinterest
what to do:
