Plant flowers in his head.

Easy Uncle Sam Planter

This is one of my all-time favorite summer DIYs. With just a few easy to find materials, you can have your own nifty flower pot Uncle Sam in a day.

This project is so easy that you don’t need any crafting experience in order to do it yourself. Check out my step by step guide and get started!

Paint the first flower pot and add a face, add clothes to the middle flower pot, and glue on strips of table cloth for the bottom. Silicone them all together and plant in the head or add a hat. You can find the full tutorial here – EASY UNCLE SAM PLANTER

For summer you can add plants. I added a hay bale and then put a flag in it.

How To Make A DIY Crate Red Pickup Truck

I was messing around with the wooden crates at Walmart and inspiration stuck! I wanted to make a vintage DIY red truck that I could use around my home. Check out my red truck made from crates and the best part – you can use this all year for all seasons!

Paint 3 mini crats and one large crate red. Add wheels, head, and taillights, and other accents you like to your truck. You can easily adjust this truck for every season and keep it out (no need for storage! You can find the full tutorial here – HOW TO MAKE A DIY CRATE RED PICKUP TRUCK

For the summer I created firecrackers.

DIY Wood Firecrackers

Did you know you can make scrap wood projects that sell? I created a snowman project, and with a little imagination created rotating seasonal decor and sold it.

I rotated all of the scrap wood again so now the snowmen were facing down. I placed painters tape on the sides to keep the edges white. I painted the top with and bottom with Folk Art Home Decor Chalk paint and used the colors imperial, and nautical.

While the back was drying, I added peel and stick Velco dots. I cut a piece of nautical rope and hot glued it to one of the Velcro pieces. This would allow me to keep the rope on while it was summer and fall, but remove it for winter and spring.

You can find the full tutorial here – DIY WOOD FIRECRACKERS

You can fill them with silverware for a decorative way to serve.

Patriotic Mason Jars

Mason Jars!!! There are so many uses for them, the possibilities are endless. You could use recycled jars for this project or I found these jars at Dollar Tree. This is a simple and inexpensive project that leads to so many uses and great for holidays!

Use a stencil to draw on the letters, and add glitter glue. Once it’s dried, use these to hold utensils, flowers, candles, and more. You can find the full tutorial here – PATRIOTIC MASON JARS
