Summer Solstice Craft Ideas

Summer Solstice Craft Ideas 

Summer Solstice, aka the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, falls on Tuesday, June 21st, 2022. 

I think both the Summer & Winter Solstice are magical days where it seems like something magical could happen, if you have the right spell or realistically, a vivid imagination. 

You may recall my Winter Solstice craft blog post a while back? Well, it's time the Summer Solstice gets her own craft post-round-up.

Summer is the perfect time to go outdoors, and craft with nature &/or dig into your recycling bin & see what you can repurpose there.  If you are looking for some crafty ideas to make this summer, take a look at my curated Summer Solstice Crafts below, & let me know if any inspire you to make.

& If you're curious as to my DIY featured in this post, these clay seashells are actually made from Crayola's Air Dry Clay which I rolled out & then cut out with small shell & mermaid shape cookie cutters. 

Air Dry Clay Mermaid Crafts 

Prior to airdrying, I punched a hole {with the bottom part of a paint brush} if I wanted to hang the shells & tail. I ended up, hanging the tail & placing the shells under a glass cloche. 

I painted the shells with craft paint {from Target} colors called Sea Foam & Sand Dune.

It's a really simple summertime craft, but so cute & pretty chic!
