Let’s DIY

Happy Friday and Memorial Day weekend! I’ve got some killer DIYs for you this weekend. Although I won’t be able to do any of these projects this weekend, I’m super excited to see my family and go to the Indy 500! This will be my 23rd year going to the 500 and the weather is supposed to be perfect.

Simple DIY Weekend Projects

Here are my favorite DIY projects for this week:

I might have to break out my yarn and Clover to make pom poms for my bike basket tonight because they are too stinkin cute! Has anyone tried giant crepe flowers? I’m wondering how well they would stand up for an outdoor party like a bridal shower or graduation?

Yarn Bird Feeder

Since we’ve moved to our current home, I’ve noticed how established and serene our family’s yards are. I love all of the little squirrels and birds that are happily playing around their trees.

We do not own one tree (yet). It’s hard to attract birds with no trees so I have to lure them with tasty treats and luscious building materials for their homes. This was an inexpensive and simple craft that would be fun to do with little kids!

Necessary Tools & Materials: scissors, yarn (great way to use up old scraps!), suet bird feeder:

1.) Wrap yarn around your hand

Anyone else have a lack of birds in their area?? It just doesn’t feel like spring around here when there aren’t any birds chirping!

Edit: I saw my strings in a few nests last year! I re-filled with fresh yarn for this spring’s birds
