Before I dive into this weekend’s DIY projects, I want to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who left comments here on the blog and reached out on social media about Gertie. Your support has meant the world to me.
Now, on a lighter note, here are six easy and fun DIYs to try over the weekend. They’re varied, simple to follow, and perfect for a few hours of creative time.
1. Ombre painted chair makeover — a step-by-step guide to refresh an old chair with a beautiful ombre paint finish.
2. Layered ice cream pops — colorful, homemade frozen treats that are as pretty as they are delicious.
3. Natural room freshener — a quick DIY using simple, non-toxic ingredients to scent your home naturally.
4. Turn old jeans into a denim clutch — transform worn jeans into a stylish clutch in about an hour.
5. Clay planters — easy hand-formed planters that give houseplants a charming, handmade home.
6. Pressed flower projects — preserve blooms for cards, framed art, or decorative accents.
Wishing you a relaxing and creative weekend—have fun trying one (or more) of these projects.
P.S. I may not have mentioned this before, but Jeff and I are heading to Europe for nearly two weeks starting Monday. The timing couldn’t be better, and I’m excited to explore Amsterdam, London, and Paris. If you have recommendations for must-see spots, favorite shops, restaurants, or neighborhoods, please share them—I’d love your suggestions.
P.P.S. I’ll be documenting the trip on social media, so if you want to follow along I’ll be posting updates and snapshots of our travels.
