After a week and a half of traveling, tomorrow we head home. The trip has been fun and inspiring, but I’m looking forward to being back. I’ve been under the weather for the last three days, and I’m definitely feeling a bit homesick.
Once we arrive, my plan is to sleep for a long time—there’s nothing better than your own bed—and then order takeout from our favorite restaurant. What are your plans this weekend? Any DIY projects on your list? If so, here are six simple, creative ideas to try over the weekend.
1. DIY clay knot paperweight from Fall for DIY
2. Easy twisted hairstyle tutorial from Oh Happy Day
3. DIY statement tassels from Paper & Stitch
4. Salted caramel White Russians recipe from Kate La Vie
5. DIY floral sun catcher from Monsters Circus
6. Rickrack blouse DIY from Oh Joy
Each project is an approachable weekend activity—some are quick crafts you can finish in an afternoon, others are tutorials or recipes that add a special touch to your day. The clay knot paperweight is a stylish, modern desk accessory you can make with polymer clay; the twisted hair tutorial is great for a polished look without heavy styling; statement tassels are an inexpensive way to refresh bags, keychains, or home accents; salted caramel White Russians offer a cozy, indulgent cocktail for relaxing at home; floral suncatchers brighten a window with pressed blooms and translucent medium; and the rickrack blouse DIY transforms a basic top into something playful and unique.
If you’re short on time, pick one small project—like the tassels or the hair tutorial—to finish in a single morning. If you want something more involved, the clay knot and blouse DIYs are satisfying weekend makes that give you a finished piece to enjoy. And if you’re in the mood to unwind, try the salted caramel White Russian alongside a relaxed craft session.
No matter what you choose, set aside a little time to be creative and enjoy the process. Small, hands-on projects are a great way to recharge after travel or a busy week.
Hope you have a happy weekend.
