Summer Craft Ideas To Help You Get Ready For Fall

Alot of people are too busy during the summer to do crafts but there are some of us who do them all year long. I personally like to work in the garder and start collecting flowers for potpourri. You can also make many things for your yard out of old items like boots, old wooden gates, broken flower pots and many other things that you can find at garage sales or thrift shops.

Summer is the best time to get ready for fall and winter crafts. I have listed a few things here to do in the summer to get ready for your craft season.

Craft Ideas

• Pick up summertime crafting items to work with on cold winter days. You can find sale items on artificial flowers and berries, bright colored ribbons and even sea shells..
• At the end of June, celebrate Independence Day. Tie a big red, white and blue bow around your mailbox or porch railing. .
• A great way to spend the day is at the beach. Bring along your watercolor supplies and just relax..
