Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure
I love back to school supply shopping. I scored a coupon in the mail from one of the big box stores and I had such a tough time deciding what to get as everything was pretty! Want to make something pretty and customized? Why not try embroidering a bold diamond onto the cover of a notebook? Pop on over to the blog for the diamond pattern (you will need to take a screen-shot) and stitch away in your favorite color.
Looking for an easy yet eye-catching way to add a little patriotic charm to your 4th of July decor? This Stars & Stripes Mason Jar Cricut Craft from CraftBits is a festive and fun project that’s perfect for crafters with a Cricut machine on hand.
This DIY features classic red, white, and blue vinyl elements—think stars, stripes, and all the Americana vibes—applied to a simple mason jar. The beauty of this craft is how versatile it is. Whether you’re using it as a lantern with a tea light, a utensil holder for your backyard BBQ, or even a candy jar for your holiday table, it’s a great way to add a personal, handmade touch to your celebration.
We also love how quick and beginner-friendly this project is, making it ideal for anyone looking to create something festive without committing to an all-day crafting session. The clean design means you can easily personalize it with names, dates, or different color combinations too.
This craft is also featured on our sister site, [insert blog name if you’d like], where we highlight holiday Cricut crafts and patriotic decor ideas. Be sure to check it out if you’re building your 4th of July craft list!
