If you are frustrated and going through the mood swings during the summer and have got nothing to do, try these ideas and enjoy the summer. Make your room look so interesting that the guest and other members in your home become fascinated with your artistic work.

DIY #1: The Seashell Garlands:

These are pretty good decor ornament for rooms which are easy and delighting to make. To do this, first fold your colored paper four times and draw a semi circle. Cut this out into a semi-circle shape. Now you’ve got 4 semi circles. On each semicircle fold the left and the right side towards the centre crease. You have to fold two vertical flaps meeting at the centre. This is called ‘gate folds’. Now, fold an inch at the tip and bend it on both the sides to get the required sea shell shape. Repeat the steps with different color papers to get different colored sea shells.

Using a twine and glue gun, stick the twine in the middle of the sea shell and continue sticking the other sea shells to make long sea shell ropes. Make three different sea shell ropes and arrange together in a wall to get a beautiful sea shell garland.

Tan tadannn!!!!! The seashell garland is ready. Your room is going to look so colourful with this!

DIY #2: Alarmelon Clock:

To make this we need an old alarm clock. Carefully detach all its parts including the hands of the alarm clock. Using a green spray paint, spray the outer lid and the two caps like structure of the alarm clock. Remove the dial paper and paint it pink and use black for the number. Stick it back to the dial pad and fix all the parts back to it carefully. You’re done with your Alarmelon clock.

Your melon Tick- tock is ready!

DIY #3: Cool Sun:

To make this, you need a fan. Paint all the blades and both the grills (front and back) yellow in color. Take an old sunglass and remove its arms. Using a glue gun, attach the sunglasses to the front grill. Cut out a funky stencil of the lips and a tongue sticking out and attach that as well to the front grill below the glasses. For the finishing touch, using a yellow stiff colored paper, draw triangles depending upon the size of your table fan. Stick it on the rear grill so that appears like the sun rays. The table fan cool sun is ready with the perfect combination — bright sun with the cool shine :)

DIY #4 :Watermelon Slices Wall Art:

For this you’re going to need four 10inch*10 inch canvases. With the help of a plate draw out the outer circle and the inner circle. Paint the outer circle green in color and paint the inner circle pink. To get the real effect of watermelon piece, paint the seeds in black color. Repeat this with the other three canvases too. Hang these canvases together on a wall.

Slurp!!! This looks appealing and cool!

DIY #5 :Multi Functionality Glasses:

For this you need different sized and shape glasses or empty candle holder jars. You may use wine glasses or regular drinking glasses. Paint these glasses and jars using spray paint by covering the outside portion with a masking tape. Decorate these jars and glasses with permanent markers and acrylic paints. That’s it!! They are ready to use.

These are some of the easy and quick DIYs for you.
