I thought I would load you up with a bunch inspirational DIY’s for the weekend – you know just in case you’re looking for something to do. Today’s DIY roundup come from fellow blogger Rachel and her clever yet simple idea called 52 Weeks Project. I met Rachel at the AltSF conference and loved her bright red bob and creative & colourful style. Her blog concept is simple – she shares one DIY project every week. Her concept came from carving out a little crafting time for herself each week to escape her hectic life – which I think many of us can relate to. Crafting can soothe the soul and spark an inside creativity that you may have felt like you’ve lost from everyday life. There is no wrong way to craft, just creating something makes you artistic. One thing that I’ve recently heard of and sounds interesting is hand casting, a 3D replica of your hands/feet or your childrens, grandparents, etc. It makes for a great crafting project and a special gift for someone to have. Never limit your crafting experiences.
Here’s a roundup of my favourite 10 projects that can be found in her Project Gallery. Links to instructions below. Happy crafting!
