5 DIY Crafts to Brighten Your Spring

Painted Tote BAgs

Painting tote bags is a great and relaxing activity, especially outside on a nice spring day! Grab your paint and brushes and get creative with limitless designs and colors. A perfect mix of fun and functional with something you can use on a daily basis!

Seashell Jewelry Holder

A seashell jewelry holder is a cute and useful way to store your rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. Using hot glue, shells, beads, pearls, and anything else you might have, this craft comes together in just a few minutes. It’s super simple and adds the cutest beachy touch to any space, also making a great and personal gift!

Wild Flower Hunt

With the weather warming up and flowers beginning to bloom, go on a wild flower hunt around campus or a park! Make a small vase with sharpie and cardboard, and poke small holes for the stems. It helps to turn a short walk into something a little more memorable!

Patchwork T-Shirts

A patchwork T-Shirt is a good way to upcycle your unused clothes into something cute for the spring time! Go thrifting for different patterns or colors and design anything you want. Get creative and end with something totally unique to your style, or even create matching tops with your friends.

Pressed Flower Stickers

These DIY flower stickers are great for journaling or keeping as a memory. First, collect and press flowers between a book for a few days. Then, apply tape, the flower, and more tape on top. Cut around the flower and peel off the parchment paper to place wherever you want.
