DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial

June 23, 2019 By Meegan Leave a Comment

We were out in the desert hiking through the gorgeous red clay mountains just outside of Las Vegas. My cute grand daughter found a rustic stick and gave it to me. My grand kids know me so well. If it’s old, a rock, sea shell, or stick, I want it. I know, that is kinda silly of me. But, it is what I like and I LOVE that each and every one of the kids in my family know that. Once I got said stick home, I knew that I was going to make a DIY Drift Wood and Crystal Sun Catcher Tutorial for you.

The temperature is warming up and I am spending most of my days poolside. You know how I love to be outside and feel the sun rays on my face. It is really nice to be in our new home. Things are coming together and I am enjoying the decorating process. I am also enjoying the fact that we have a REAL porch. We did have a tiny balcony before. I tried to turn it into an inviting space. But, my vision never really came to fruition. I had visions of what I wanted here even before we moved in. Let me share some of my DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas for our new home.

These DIY Apartment Summer Porch Ideas can be used on tiny porches and large decks alike.

I like this time of month because I get to be a part of the At Home DIY Challenges. We have a theme every 15th of the month and share our best DIY projects related to the theme. This month is: “Make it Pretty Outdoor Challenge”

That is EXACTLY why I am tidying up our back porch and showing you my DIY projects for this space…
