10 Projects for a Rainy Afternoon

10 Projects for a Rainy Afternoon

Hey y'all,

I had an unexpected day off today (thank goodness!) and if you’ve ever had a rainy day with nothing to do then you know exactly how it feels (like freedom!). Of course I had absolutely no idea how to spend my free time (I mean what is free time anyways?). So I’ve compiled a few projects that you can do on a rainy day!

The best part? All of these projects can be found at last weeks Welcome Home Wednesday Link Party!

Like these fun washi tape crafts! I absolutely love the fun bookmark… how quick and easy would that be to make?

This cute DIY welcome chalkboard is a close second… I love all of the fun chalkboard art going around these days and a good chalkboard is the first step!

This bedroom on the other hand reminds me of a greek paradise! All of the blue and white along with the chippy doors makes me think of a little greek cafe. Of course an entire bedroom would be a large afternoon project but a cute plate display would be doable.

Can you believe these birdhouses are made of fabric? They’re so colorful and cute! They would look adorable in just about any space but I see them being a big hit in a colorful playroom!

$15 for a fun DIY chalkboard? Yes, please! This guys a little different from the first chalkboard (two completely different looks!) but they are both absolutely adorable.

I don’t know about y’all but I absolutely love three tiered stands… but I don’t love the price. How cute is this little DIY version? You could totally whip this baby up in an afternoon!

 

Painted furniture is totally my jam which is why I absolutely love this blue dresser! Of course I love spending a good afternoon painting.

6 How To Paint Picture Frames 1062
Frames can cost quite a bit of money which is why finding amazing frames at goodwill can be the perfect way to spend an afternoon! A few coats of paint and you have custom decor for your space!

The only thing better than a great frame is great storage… which is why I love these storage boxes! How cute would these be in the kitchen?
