Happy Friday! This weekend is my first at home since our recent trip, and I’m actually looking forward to taking it easy. I might swing by the studio to organize a bit before an upcoming magazine shoot, but otherwise I have no plans—and that feels wonderful.
What are your plans for the weekend? If you’re thinking about tackling a DIY project, I’ve rounded up a few ideas to inspire you. Here are six easy and fun DIYs to try this weekend:
1. French toast donuts with mascarpone and fresh strawberry drizzle — a decadent breakfast treat that doubles as an impressive weekend baking project.
2. DIY appliqué trim statement jacket — update a plain jacket with bold appliqué trims for a personalized fashion statement.
3. DIY crossbody bag — a budget-friendly sewing or no-sew project that results in a practical, everyday accessory.
4. Color-blocked sunny succulent garden — brighten your space with a cheerful, low-maintenance planter arrangement using paint and succulents.
5. Custom-cut acrylic serving tray — create a sleek, modern serving board tailored to your size and style preferences.
6. “More is more” brownies — go all out with extra chocolate, mix-ins, and toppings for an indulgent dessert.
Each of these projects is approachable and rewarding, whether you want something cozy to make at home or a small creative upgrade for your wardrobe or living space. If you’re short on time, choose a quick food or planter project; if you have a few hours, try the jacket or acrylic tray for a more hands-on, satisfying result.
Whatever you choose, enjoy the process—DIY is all about having fun, learning something new, and ending the weekend with something you made yourself. Have a lovely weekend.
