Whether it’s the festive energy of Cinco de Mayo or a break from my usual neutral palette, I found myself drawn to colorful projects this week. I mixed in a few bright ideas to shake up the usual lineup of DIYs.
There are six easy, inspiring projects below — a couple jump out at me as perfect weekend tasks. I’m especially excited to try the stenciled napkins, and the fabric bike idea has sparked a new twist for a bicycle project I’ve been planning. Browse the list and pick one (or more) to tackle over the next few days.
1. DIY fabric bicycle — a fun, fabric-covered bike project from Brit + Co.
2. How to sew standard pillowcases in 15 minutes — a quick, practical sewing project.
3. Paper strawberry surprise balls — a creative paper craft tutorial from The House That Lars Built.
4. Stenciled monstera leaf napkins — simple, bold napkin stenciling from Sarah Hearts that gives any table a tropical update.
5. Giant DIY mood board organizer — a roomy, customizable board to arrange inspiration and keep projects on track.
6. Pull-through double braid — a textured, braided hairstyle tutorial from A Beautiful Mess that’s great for casual or dressed-up looks.
