6 Summer Crafts You Will Love!

School is out, the temperatures are up, and it seems like the sunshine is finally here to stay. That can only mean one thing- it’s officially summer. Whether you are a lounge at the pool kind of summer explorer or prefer to stay locked inside where the AC is on full blast, we have some fun summer projects to share with you to make this the best summer yet. We are firm believers that every season is a stenciling season, and this array of crafts will prove that to be true.

Welcome to our Lake House- Nothing says summer like time spent on the water and in this case, at the lake house. The talented Charlotte Kellow shared this creation with our WallCutz Facebook Community and blew us away with the newest addition to her lake house.

Using our Welcome to our Lake House stencil which can be found here, Charlotte switched out a stenciled oar and put the entire sign on an oar itself. We are obsessed with how beautifully it turned out with the white, blues and twine touches, and can’t wait to see what new life it brings to her lake house as she hangs it proudly!


Farm Fresh Watermelon- Nothing says summer like a fresh slice of juicy watermelon. This stencil captures all of that summer picnic feeling with the detailed seeds, the lively pinks and greens and the sweet details of vine ripened and hand picked specialties. This could make for the perfect summer décor in your home, to hang or shelf as a refreshing new summer look. Not to mention how cute this stencil looks on a throw pillow or a summer bag for you to take along to the Farmer’s Market.
