Welcome to Crafty Creators Link Party, where you can share all of your wonderful crafts, DIYs, fashion, recipes, or any other thing that makes your heart happy!

Don’t forget to link up on Happiness is Homemade. Now let’s get to the posts that I shared over the last week.
Make a gorgeous tote for the beach, shopping, or work with this easy DIY tutorial. You can use one of my 6 free designs or a split monogram on your own bag with or without a Cricut.
I love how my tobacco basket with a DIY lamb’s ear and starfish wreath turned out! You can make this farmhouse or coastal farmhouse decor piece for less than $15! Check out the tutorial to see how!
I have some more spring to summer decor and DIY Father’s Day gift tutorials, printables, and ideas coming up so make sure you follow me on social media using the buttons in the sidebar or at the top of the page. That way you don’t miss them! Enter your email address below to get an email when I add a new post, including new link parties, so you never forget to join us!
This Week’s Features!
We didn’t have many Memorial Day posts shared last week, but we’ve got some great ones to use through the whole red, white, and blue era! Jenna over at The Painted Apron shared a roundup of red, white, and blue decor that you can use all summer, from May through September! I love this red, white, and beach tree that is shared in the post! Isn’t it so cute?! Perfect for those of you who like to use a Christmas tree for different holidays all year. Check out the post for more ideas!
Beth Wilson of Whispers of the Heart shared a beautiful patriotic tablescape that’s sure to inspire you. I love the Preamble on the centerpiece and the different iterations of our flag and “1776” on the plates! This is a perfect tablescape for the upcoming patriotic holidays, Father’s Day (if you have a LEO or military dad), July 4th, Flag Day, and Labor Day.
If you have a Memorial Day parade in your area, I highly encourage you to participate. Anytime we can come together as a community with the love of our nation in our hearts, it’s bound to be a great time! If not, create your own Memorial Day parade in your backyard like Penny from Penny’s Vintage Home did! Isn’t this absolutely to-die for?! She always sets up the cutest “little vignettes” in her backyard and I love them.
These DIY wood buoys made Diane at South House Designs are a perfect addition to your coastal farmhouse decor. If you have a good saw, they’re super easy to make and are just beautiful! Don’t you love them as a door hanger? Fabulous job, Diane! If you don’t have a saw, last year I shared a set made with dry floral foam. Don’t worry, I show you how to make the finish smooth and not styrofoam-like!
Beth over at Creatively Beth shared a great patriotic decor piece that you can make using your vintage rulers! I love having it hung with the greenery in the background. It reminds me of a wind chime, but without the noise. You can use it as wall decor or a door hanger as well. I love how she carried the measurement theme throughout with the star made from a tape measure!
