Acrylic Paint Pour
This easy craft will make your walls pop this spring. Here’s what you need: a canvas of any size, acrylic paint in your favorite spring colors, a squeeze bottle, all-purpose glue, plastic cups, and something to stir paint. There are a ton of different methods of doing this project, but this is one of the most popular beginner tutorials on Pinterest.
Turn a Wall into a Chalkboard
Reminiscent of childhood school days, chalkboard walls are a popular addition to your kitchen or playroom. Chalkboard paint can be found at craft and home improvement stores near you, and it’s easy to turn your wall into a chalkboard. This is an excellent project for creative homeowners who want chalk art on their walls or want a place for their children to practice lettering.
Grow your own Avocado Tree
This D.I.Y. is for the taco and guacamole lovers. The pit of an avocado is how the germination process begins. There are many methods behind growing your own avocado tree, but in about a month the pit starts to crack, and the branch begins to sprouts out. Follow this avocado 101 guide by California Avocados.
Build an Outdoor Fireplace
Big or small an outdoor fireplace immediately turns your unappealing backyard into a hangout destination for friends and family. Go to Pinterest for inspiration on this D.I.Y. project because there are many tutorial variations for this project. Simple designs require poring sand, wedge bricks, and gravel while other plans require pouring concrete.
Paint Geometric Shapes
Plain colored accent walls are a thing of the past. The new trend is using painters’ tape to create different angles and shapes. This method makes any wall really pop and can be used with paint samples rather than investing in a single color you’re not sure about.
Design your own Succulent Arrangements
Do you love plants, but tend not to be such a great plant parent? Then, this project is for you. Succulents come in all shapes, sizes, and colors, but succulent’s best trait is their lack of need for water. If you’re forgetful or travel a lot, succulents are the plant for you. This is a well-loved D.I.Y. because you can plant succulents in just about everything and look great in any room.
