Yay! Warmer weather is finally here!! If you are as excited about summer as we are then we know you are going to love today's blog. It's time to get some fresh air and get creative. Backyard activities are such a popular trend right now, but some of them can get a little expensive. We are here to tell you, you can create backyard activities more affordably and with more of your personal style than just going and buying something. Make your backyard experience fun and enjoyable for the whole family with one of our DIY outdoor activity ideas. 

How will you play? Whether it's a cornhole board, a simple outdoor tic-tac-toe game, or crafting cardboard shapes on the patio, expand your crafting expertise to the outdoors and make your space fun this summer! 

Pick up a paint kit to create summertime fun! One kit can give you all the colors you need to let your imagination grow. 
       
     

And while your outside enjoying the warm weather, upgrade your outdoor living space as well! We've got an entire blog post dedicated to making your outdoor patio or porch space feel like an oasis. You can sit back, relax, and grab a drink at your DIY outdoor bar that you made while you watch your family play a few handmade yard games on a warm summer night. Doesn't that sound nice? And you do all of it with help from Plaid!
