I apologise if I’m about to add a whole heap of awesome DIY’s to your Pinterest boards, but there are some clever folk out there that deserve some summer love.

Refreshing Face Mist via Design Love Fest// DIY Clay Bead Necklace via The Crafted Life

I dont know about you, but I mainly make things by hand for gifts or for our home; not really for myself. So I thought I’d start with a couple of projects that you can make just for you. The face mist is a perfect and practical DIY for hot summer days. Or, to add a little cheer to your outfit, this colourful beaded necklace would be an easy project whilst watching the World Cup.

Floral Headboard via Design Love Fest// Love Headboard via House*Tweaking

I know there are gorgeous bed headboards out there but I just love these creative ideas to either alter your current headboard, or make your own from scratch; an easy(ish) way to makeover your bedroom. I want a hundred paper flowers on my bed. Indeed I do.

Aluminium Chair Makeover  and Baby and Toddler Swing via A Beautiful Mess

Not forgetting your outdoor space and the potential garden fun that can be had this summer, I love these ideas to recycle old aluminium garden chairs (they bring back sooo many memories). Or for folks looking for a challenge, the Baby and Toddler Swing DIY is all kinds of awesome. Can someone make an adult version?

Watermelon Popsicles via The Alternative Wife // Beaded Wood Trivet via Apartment Therapy

I’m not entirely sure why I get excited by beaded wood trivets and WATERMELON POPSICLES? Perhaps my enthusiasm for the small things in life is taking over somewhat. Ahem.

Colourful Cutlery and Ombre Milk Bottles via  The Crafted Life

Not entirely practical, no. But I like to live in a world where people think to paint picnic cutlery, just because.
