I have this spot in my kitchen where we pile EVERYTHING – mail, magazines, half-eaten kid snacks, receipts, sunglasses. Do you have one of these spots? Well, it has been driving me crazy, so I decided to incorporate a storage solution to clean it up. I saw a blank crate on clearance at the store and immediately had a plan for this DIY Ombre Heart Crate, where I could throw (and hide) all our junk. It is super easy to make and my kitchen looks so much better!

Trendy DIY Sunglasses Case

Write By: DIY Candy Published In: DIY Tips Hits: 10162 Comment: 0

Hey guys – it’s Aki again from Minted Strawberry here to share another easy peasy sunglasses case tutorial with you! Summer is well on the way and I imagine I’m not the only one with a pair (or a few) sunglasses in their bag. What bugs me is the fact that either I lose my sunglasses cases or they’re just plain too bulky for me to slip into my tiny little bag. So I end up creating one (or more) cases for my sunnies – and I’m sharing with you how I made this and the template I used so that you can create your very own!

We buy a lot of jarred peaches at our house – my little boy LOVES them. So I have a constantly-growing collection of glass jars in my pantry.

It’s the perfect summer craft! I love using a glass jar for dressings or sauces, and decorating these jars with some seasonal designs makes them so cute to take to a party or picnic. They would also make a darling gift as a set! Here is the easiest tutorial for how I made them . . .

We’re on our second month of summer vacation, and my kids are bored!  I’ve been trying to come up with fun crafts and activities to keep them busy during the day, so we made these cute little Sharpie dot flower pots. I’ve seen this technique used to decorate ceramic mugs, and I thought it would look really cute on a flower pot. This flower pot craft is so easy, and all you need are letter stickers and an oil-based Sharpie. The kids can spell out their own names, or the name of a teacher or friend to give as a gift. You could even spell out the names of different herbs and use them to make a little herb garden!
