These make fantastic projects for rainy days or stay-cations during the summer.

Plan a DIY Date!
If you want to do multiple DIYs try this idea: Get a group of girlfriends, sisters or family members together and everyone pick an individual DIY project that you will teach and show to the rest of the group. Most of the time when doing these projects you have extra supplies. Each person brings enough for the whole group to make their own DIY to take home.
At the end of the day you have several fun projects that you learned and have for one for yourself!
