12 DIY Projects to Make in April
April may have fewer major holidays and events than March this year, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to celebrate! Earth Day is on the horizon, and May holidays like Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day aren’t too far behind. Get a head start on the Spring festivities with these 12 DIY projects to make in April— all of which can be found in Leonardo™ Design Studio!
Spring
#1: Welcome Spring Door Sign
March may technically mark the beginning of Spring, but for most of us in the north, we know that real Spring weather doesn’t happen until April. Give Spring a warm welcome with a decorative door sign made with acrylic paint, artificial greenery, and EasyPSV® Starling™!
#2: Spring Flower Jar Decoration
The inside of your home could always use some Spring decor, too! Create a unique piece of wall art with this fun EasyPSV project!
#3: Floral Monogram Tea Towel
Speaking of indoor decor, how about the kitchen? Make a floral tea towel (with a personal touch) that’s perfect for Spring with some Sparkle™ HTV!
Earth Day
#4: Recycled Plastic Bottle Planters
Plastic is usually bad for the environment, but what if it didn’t have to be? Turn those empty water bottles into attractive planters by decorating them with EasyPSV Holographic!
#5: Eco-Friendly Scraps Shirt
Got EasyWeed® scraps? Don’t throw them away! You can mix and match the different colors to create an eco-friendly t-shirt like the one in this project!
#6: Earth Day Clothes Patch
Finding a hole in your favorite shirt or pair of pants is devastating… or is it? Quickly patch it up while adding some fun flair with the help of HTV!
Cinco de Mayo
#7: Papel Picado Banner
Cindo de Mayo happens so early in May, it can practically be considered an April holiday. Make sure you’re ready to decorate with a colorful papel picado banner!
#8: Salsa Dipping Bowls
Don’t be caught unprepared at your Cinco de Mayo party! With some EasyPSV Starling, you can easily create hot and mild salsa dipping bowls for you and your guests to enjoy.
#9: Tequilla Shot Glasses
Let’s be honest: it doesn’t take long for the tequila to come out during Cinco de Mayo. Make sure you’re ready for it with some appropriately themed shot glasses!
Mother’s Day
#10: Mom’s Eye Mask
I think it’s safe to say that all moms deserve a little extra rest. Give her a handmade gift that she’s guaranteed to use again and again!
#11: World’s Best Mama Robe
The eye mask is a great gift, but mom will have to get up eventually! Make sure she stays comfortable even while awake with a cozy robe exquisitely decorated with StripFlock® Pro!

It’s Mother’s Day— mom shouldn’t have to get out of bed! Serve up breakfast in bed with a little extra pizzaz with an adorable, personalized breakfast tray!
