Hey there, craft buddy! 🌞 After what felt like the longest winter ever, I am so ready to kick back, soak up the sunshine, and spend some serious time outside. But before I can fully dive into summer mode, I like to do a little prep work to get our outdoor spaces looking cute, functional, and guest-ready, without breaking the bank.
In this video, I’m walking you through a ton of budget-friendly DIY projects that will totally transform your yard, patio, or deck — no matter how big (or small!) your space is. From a relaxing solar fountain you can make for under $40 to a shaded seating area with a DIY umbrella stand and planter combo, I’ve got you covered.

You’ll also see how I whipped up a PVC drying rack (perfect for wet pool towels or even laundry) and a tabletop fire bowl that’s both cozy and cookout-friendly. Plus, I’m sharing how I made an outdoor storage solution that doubles as a cute side table and some of my all-time favorite modern wood planters made from fence pickets — super stylish and super affordable.
Whether you’re hosting guests, chasing kiddos, or just want a calm space to sip your iced coffee, these DIYs are quick wins to make your outdoor space work harder and look better this summer. As always, feel free to tweak any of the projects to fit your style, supplies, or space. That’s the beauty of DIY, right?
