35 Summery DIY Projects And Activities For The Best Summer Ever

Modified: Jul 1, 2022 by Vanessa Beaty · This post may contain affiliate links · 10 Comments

Summer is filled with activity and whether you like to be out and about enjoying the sun or staying home and getting things done around the house, there are many different DIY projects that you can do to make your summer the best ever.

Heading to the beach and hate to get sand between your toes? You can use baby powder to keep the sand away. While you’re at it, why not learn how to build the perfect sandcastle? You can build the perfect beach chair with a few broomsticks and a beach towel.

Have kids that want something cold and yummy? Make delicious and fun popsicles using fresh juice and Dixie cups.

Want a hammock but just don’t have the money to buy one? You can make your own with an old sheet. Just attach it to a tree and enjoy those summer afternoon naps.

There is no limit to the number of things that you can do this summer that will make it great. We recommend that you find plenty of DIY projects to fill up your summer months and enjoy!

35 Summery DIY Projects And Activities For The Best Summer Ever

Pool noodles are the epitome of summer fun and even if you don’t have a pool, there are things that you can do with these noodles that will help you to get the most out of your summer months. Use them to make a floating ice chest to keep drinks cold. If you tend to spend a lot of time outdoors, you can freeze aloe vera gel easily in ice cube trays so that you always have something cool and relieving to put on sunburn.
