Whether you are hosting a quick craft night with friends or a fun make and take style class, one of these ideas is sure to feel the need you're looking for!Crafts nights are one of my all time favorite ways to get to know people. I love seeing people be creative and express themselves even when it seems like what you’re doing is simple and small. I guarantee you, you will see such a wide variety of results from each one of these projects!

Here are 5 fun make and take ideas, perfect for summer!

#1: Wood Block Calendar

  • Darice Unfinished Wood Block Calendars
  • Darice Acrylic Craft Paint
  • Vinyl or Alphabet Stickers
  • Paint Brush

Calendars never go out of style. I chose to keep a small part of mine natural wood for a more modern look but depending on the group, you may want to set out fun, bright colors!

#2: Macrame Key Chain

  • Darice Embroidery Floss
  • Darice Key Rings
  • Scissors

Macrame is back and I’m so glad. Everyone needs a key chain and these turn out so cute and unique! You can mix different colors together and try different knots to get a varied look.

#3: Monogrammed Apron

  • Plain Darice Aprons
  • Iron On Letters

Who doesn’t love to customize everything? These aprons are a fun and quick project that are useful too. Be careful with the nylon though, make sure you follow instructions carefully about ironing on plastic type materials.

  • Gold Darice Macrame Hoops
  • Macrame Cord
  • Scissors

More macrame? Yes, please! This piece is much larger but has such a fun impact with the touch of gold. Every home can incorporate a little bit of macrame somewhere.

I don’t think style has to be sacrificed for price! I love creating DIYs that don’t look homemade and look deceptively expensive. Practical and Pretty began because I said ‘I could make that!’ so often that I decided to finally do it, and document my process.
