Summer Crafts for Beach Lovers
Alright friends, buckle up because these Summer Crafts for Beach Lovers are just too cute to not share! I imagine all of these being painted in a similar style and used to decorate the cutest beachy room you’ve ever seen!!
Each of these summer craft projects features a DIY craft kit we sell, but that doesn’t mean you have to buy the kit. You can use these home decor crafts as inspiration to dream up your own diy decoration for summer!
Also check out the rest of the blog – I have SO MANY craft tutorials that feature Dollar Tree or salvage supplies to help people craft with whatever is in their stash!
Sea Turtle Faux Stained Glass DIY Suncatcher
Up first in our summer crafts for beach lovers is an incredible faux stained glass tutorial perfect for beginners featuring our Sea Turtle DIY Suncatcher!
Learn how to prep the outline, adhere the transfer tape, place the glass, and pour the resin to create a stunning faux stained glass suncatcher at home!
What you need
We have hundreds of suncatcher outlines you can choose from, but this sea turtle outline is style 50. Our laser cut outlines come in 6-inch and 12-inch sizes and are completely blank with many open spaces for you to fill with glass and/or resin!
Glass is optional, but definitely brings the suncatcher outlines to life. The best thing about these suncatcher outlines is that you get to fully choose the look.
Starting with a blank piece of wood lets you choose everything about the color, style, and presentation of your diy home decor!

Recorded live on Facebook, the replay is still a valuable source for instruction and inspiration for anyone wanting to try their hand at glass and resin art, especially if you are a sea turtle obsessed beach lover!
Whimsical Beach Ball House Sitter
This whimsical beach ball house sitter is one of our must have summer crafts for beach lovers! Featuring a panelled beach ball turned house with a triangle banner, heart shutters, and anchor out front, this diy craft kit is perfect for bringing summer vibes indoors!
This diy home decor idea comes to life with simple layering of hdf laser cut wood pieces, creating a self standing, dimensional shelf decor!
Unlike the suncatcher outlines, almost all of our diy craft kits come in several pieces that have to be painted separately and then glued together to assemble the decor.

It’s adorable, affordable, and easy to craft on your own, but we do have a video tutorial to help inspire you.

Beach Bucket House Shelf Sitter
A great option to pair with the beach ball house, this Beach Bucket House Sitter is just as adorable, so we HAD to add it to our list of summer crafts for beach lovers!
This summer decor diy was part of the same release as the beach ball house, and meant to create pairing and styling options for our customers.
What good is diy home decor if none of it matches, am I right? We always try and release coordinating kits together to allow you to build your own home decor collection fully created BY YOU!
With simple painting and a bit of glue, you can easily transform the blank pieces into a stunning decor piece you’ll be proud to display on your mantle, shelf, or countertop this summer.
