Sometimes DIY projects are straight up hacks that make your life easier and show you how to do things with objects you’ve never thought of before. Other times, DIY projects are a great way to save money and get something you’ve been wanting. On certain occasions, they make excellent sentimental gifts. And other times, some crafts are just so fun and so aesthetically pleasing that you want to make them even if they aren’t necessary to your life. By that I mean a craft that can still be useful and helpful, but isn’t something you absolutely need. That pretty much describes these adorable fruit DIY projects that are all over Pinterest right now.
I’m not sure what it is about these fruits that make them so cute. Maybe it’s because they’re bright and colorful and a little bit different and unique. Maybe it’s because they remind everyone of summer, when the weather is nice and you’re in a good mood. Maybe it’s because I really like fruits! The world may never know. But I do know that these fruit crafts are so freakin’ great, you’ll want to spend your entire summer putting them together. Use these for yourself (they can spruce up your bedroom or dorm room), save them as gifts, or just do ‘em for fun. Do you really need a reason? Nope.
1. Make the cutest fruit coasters out of cork material.
