This weekend I have family visiting, so I spent part of the week preparing the guest room and bathroom. I’ll be sharing those updates soon — I’ve gathered a lot of tips that should help if you’re getting a space ready for visitors. For now, our plans are low-key: entertaining, visiting favorite local spots, and enjoying the extra company.
What are your plans this weekend? If you have time for a quick project, I’ve pulled together six easy DIYs you can try. They’re perfect for a weekend of crafting — the first one is my favorite.
1. DIY clay chimes from Paige Christensen — a lovely, tactile project that makes a gentle outdoor or porch accent.
2. A guide to making clay jewelry — covers several techniques and design ideas, great for beginners wanting wearable clay pieces.
3. An easy planter hack for summer — simple updates that refresh pots and containers for warm-weather plants.
4. Romantic floral bath salts from The Glitter Guide — a relaxing, fragrant project ideal for gifting or a spa night at home.
5. A clay knot paperweight project from Fall for DIY — a stylish, sculptural desk accessory that’s surprisingly simple to make.
6. How to make a basket bag — a craft that blends function and style, perfect for summer outings.
Any of these projects are approachable for a weekend and use materials you can find at most craft stores or online. Clay projects offer a lot of flexibility: you can shape, paint, and seal them to match your decor. Planter hacks and basket bags are fast ways to update your home aesthetic without a big investment. And handmade bath salts or a paperweight make thoughtful gifts if you’re visiting friends or family.
Pick one that fits the time you have and the tools on hand. Even a simple planter refresh can instantly lift a room, while a clay jewelry piece can become a favorite accessory you made yourself. If you enjoy tactile, hands-on crafts, start with the clay chimes — they’re meditative to make and sweet to hear.
Wishing you a relaxing, creative weekend. If you try one of these projects, enjoy the process and the small, satisfying results.
