I shared my DIY Flag Banner a few days ago, as part of the At Home DIY group that I belong to. We are a hard-working group of DIY bloggers who are partnering each month to share projects! This month's theme was 'Outdoor Projects' and I'm sharing some of my favorites from the round up with you today!
Here's a quick look at my project, an easy indoor/outdoor flag banner made using canvas drop cloth. You can also ready about our easy summer porch refresh and the shade loving plants that we added to our flower beds here.
Let's take a closer look at my 7 favorite projects from the round up.
No. 1: Two Feet First - Pineapple Door Mat
Who doesn't love a cute doormat welcoming guests to the front door? Even better when it's an easy DIY project and has a fun pop of color like this pineapple! If you want to see how to make my DIY taco doormat, I shared the tutorial here.
No. 2: The DIY Dreamer - DIY Barn Quilt Door
I'm no stranger to DIY barn quilts. I made a huge Ohio star barn quilt to hang on my in-law's garage. I also made a set of small barn quilts for a wall in my home. You can click on the links to see my tutorial, but I love this idea of adding barn quilts to an old chippy door!
No 3: The Handyman,s Daughter - DIY Vertical Wall Planter
If gardening is more your style, especially if you're tight on patio space, check out this project! I love how it uses vertical space so you literally grow a garden on a wall!
No. 4: Living Letter Home - Mailbox Makeover
Even a mailbox deserves attention! We will be using this tutorial to update our mailbox sometime this summer! I especially appreciate the home numbers being visible and you know my love of black and white!
No. 5: My Kitchen My Craft - Outdoor DIY Sconces
Want to add a little bling to your outdoor patio? These adorable sconces are a great recycle project!
No. 6: Shine Your Light - Cedar Trellis
Another way to take advantage of vertical space is to grow a flowering vine on a trellis! Lisa share's a great tutorial for building an easy trellis customized to your space!
No. 7: The Frugal Homemaker - Picket Fence DIY Flag
Last but certainly not least, is this adorable HUGE flag made with fence pickets! I love the bright color and patriotic declaration it adds to this backyard!
