Next weekend we’re heading to New York for a couple of days, so this weekend will likely be low-key with a few small projects around the house. I keep finding myself happy to take it easy on the weekends these days—simple, creative tasks fit perfectly into that slower pace.
If you have time for a DIY or two, check out these six weekend projects worth trying. I’m definitely planning to make the delicate wire “nudie” earrings (#1 on the list) as soon as I get a chance—such a good idea.
1. DIY nudie earrings from Fabrica de Imaginación
2. DIY brass bookmarks from Your DIY Family — a clever, minimalist idea I wish I’d thought of myself
3. A guide on how to dye clothing naturally from Paper & Stitch
4. DIY wooden magazine holder from Fall for DIY — a simple woodworking project that adds practical style to any room
5. DIY copper hair accessory (plus a tutorial for creating a messy chignon) from Paper & Stitch — an elegant way to update your hair accessories with metalwork details
6. How to turn any bag into a camera bag from Paper & Stitch — a handy conversion for photographers who want protection and organization without buying a separate bag
These projects cover a range of skills—wireworking, metal stamping, natural dyeing, basic woodworking, simple metal accessories, and practical bag conversions—so you can pick whatever fits your mood and time. Start with something small if you want a quick, satisfying result, or combine a couple of tutorials for a fuller weekend of making.
Wishing you a relaxing, creative weekend.
