I’m spending the weekend in Texas with a group of blogger friends, enjoying good company and a few creative projects. Even while I’m away, I’m planning to squeeze in a couple of DIYs—mostly flower-related. If you want a peek behind the scenes, follow my stories on Instagram.
If you’re looking for weekend projects, floral or otherwise, here are six DIYs to try. Each is approachable and perfect for a short burst of creativity.
1. How to Press Flowers (three methods) — a clear, step-by-step guide from The House that Lars Built that shows three reliable techniques for preserving blooms.
2. Hanging Balloon Installation — a festive, eye-catching installation from Oh Happy Day that’s ideal for parties or photo backdrops.
3. How to Turn an Old Dress Into a Shirt (in 30 minutes) — a quick clothing DIY that refreshes an item you already own and gives it new life.
4. S’mores in a Cup — a layered s’more parfait recipe that captures the classic flavors in an easy-to-serve format.
5. DIY Potting Station — a functional, organized potting bench idea from I Spy DIY that’s great for gardeners who want a tidy workspace.
6. DIY Ombre Wall — a bold, modern home project from Studio DIY that transforms a plain wall with a beautiful gradient effect.
Give one—or more—of these a try this weekend. They’re all doable, fun, and a great way to make the most of a couple of free hours.
Have a happy weekend,
