Easy Crafts to Revive Your Home:
Following are some of the DIY projects that will totally transform your house in coming summers.
•Plant a Vintage Tube Garden:
This is a great and extremely simple DIY project that will not take your more than an hour and will add a unique vintage touch to your patio, outdoor dining area or a porch.
What You Need:
Things you need to complete this project are,
- Flowers
- Vintage tub
- Gardening Soil
- Watering Can
- Hand Held shovel
The best thing about this simple and quick project is that you can plant almost anything you like ranging from vegetables, to ferns and flowers. This is a great project for porches and patios because it only needs sunlight, some water and a little care to prosper.
•Revive Your Lawn:
The long summer days with increased humidity and dry heat can play havoc with your lush green and beautiful garden. Therefore, you should spend some time in your garden this summer to give it a much needed attention and repair.
What You Need:
You will just need the following few things.
- Grass seeds
- Rake
- Fertilizer
This project will cost you just a negligible amount of money in case your grass only needs some sprinkling and the entire garden only needs some weeding. What you can do is simply get lawn sprinklers on this website along with a water timer so that the garden is watered on a regular schedule. This will also save you money on your water bill by ensuring you do not over water. In addition to sprinkling, do some hard work in weeding and raking the grass and leaves. However, if your lawn is seriously in disarray, you might need to hire an expert to give you some suggestions.
Remove Worn Out Wallpapers:
This DIY project is a perfect one for really hot days (too hot to be outside) or a rainy Saturday since it is impossible for you to complete it under the comfort of an air conditioner. Furthermore, if you live in an old fashioned house, there are chances that it is furnished with some odd looking wallpapers.
What You Need:
- Scoring Tool
- Wallpaper Removal Spray
- Wallpaper Scraper
- Plastic dropclothes
- Tape
The greatest advantage of this project is that you do not need any prior experience or complicated tools to complete it. You simple need to put some effort in by removing the furniture to the center of the room or to any other room. The second step is to tap the dropclothes so that you do not get wallpaper or backing all across the room. Now roll the scoring tool over the walls carefully and it will create little holes in the wallpapers making it easier for you to get the task done. Apply the wallpaper removing spray on the wallpapers and allow it 10-20 minutes to penetrate the old gum holding the old wallpapers followed by carefully scraping the walls to remove all the wallpapers. Wash the walls to clean of any remains of the gum and then prime and repaint.
Conclusion:
These are some of the DIY tips that will make your summers busy and you will be able to impart a glorious new look to your home as well.

I agree with the point on reviving the lawn, often the focal point of the summer its important you have a fresh, healthy looking lawn. What would also help is flower beds with bright coloured flowers.
