As the summer approaches, there is not only more time to get outside, but more time to take up a skill and a hobby. If you have always wanted to become handy, this is a time to do so. Go and stock up your tool shed and make sure you have everything you need because there are plenty of things you can build. Here are some creative DIY projects that you can do at home.
An Outdoor Bench
If you have a nice backyard, you can build a nice bench to accommodate guests. The project is great for a beginner or expert, as there are plenty of different embellishments you can add if you are good at working with wood. As you are working with wood, you will need the correct tools to accomplish the job.
Having a saw is a must as you have to be able to cut the wood as needed. Not only that, but you might be required to make different cuts. Having something like Ryker’s multi tool blades will make your life that much easier as instead of having to use different saws, you can easily just swap the blade out for another to accomplish the cut you need. Building an outdoor bench is a great creative project that you can do at home.
Bar Stools
Whether you have a bar or just a kitchen counter, having a small portable seating is a must. Bar stools are great for this. They can be designed to fit the aesthetic of any house and can provide a classy yet simple look. This allows you to eat simple meals at the counter, while also being able to entertain house guests. Making yourself a pair of wooden bar stools would be great for your home.
Planters
The summer months bring out tons of sunlight and heat. Whether you have a garden or not, you can still achieve your dreams of getting some plants. Take some wood and build a planter that you can put in your backyard, If you live in an apartment you can even build one for your balcony. After that is done, feel free to paint it any color you want to liven it up. Planters are easy to make and will add to the aesthetic of your backyard.
Bird Feeders
Everyone loves the sight of birds and hearing their songs. If you want to bring them closer to you, consider constructing a bird feeder. If you want more birds in the yard, make a feeder with multiple holes to eat from, allowing several birds to be there at once. Be careful of squirrels though, as they will try to get into the food.
All of these projects are great for practicing your craftsmanship skills while also adding to the value of your home. Remember, all of these projects will take some time to complete, so don’t feel the need to rush it. Before long your house will be decorated with everything that you’ve made. What do you plan on making first?
