2. Zipper Pouch

Zipper Pouch I love to make pouches and this rainbow zipper pouch is absolutely delightful. Really, how can you not fall in love with this darling of a pouch? You can make this using zippers in vibrant rainbow colors, or pick subtle pastel shades of your favorite color if a full rainbow pouch is much too loud for you. The best part: this project does not require a lining, making it super accessible for beginners.

Bunting Necklace This fun craft project can be easily accomplished using small pieces of multi-colored felt or scrap fabric.

4. Bangle

Bangle Wooden bangles are incredibly affordable and they are great blank canvases for making personalized handmade jewelry. To make this rainbow-themed arm candy, you will need colorful embroidery thread or rattail trim and strong craft glue. Wrap the thread tightly around the wooden bangle and keep it securely in place using the glue. That's it, really — quick, budget-friendly, and stylish!

5. Paint Chip Banner

Paint Chip Banner How cute and colorful is this banner? You can easily recreate it for your home using free paint chips from the hardware store, a craft shape puncher, and a sewing machine. Punch the paint chips into floral or geometric shapes, sew them together in a line, and hang. Easy! This multi-layer look is lovely, but you can also do a single line. The latter is a great option if you're thinking of hanging the banner across a huge room or party backdrop.

6. Glitter Shoes

Glitter Shoes Here is another fantastic costume or party idea with a rainbow theme. To give a plain pair of canvas shoes the rainbow treatment, you will need fine glitter in different colors, painter's tape, and glitter bond glue. The latter is a type of adhesive specifically formulated for projects involving fine glitter so it stays put without shedding everywhere.

7. Wreath

Wreath One of the simpler DIY rainbow projects on this list is for creating a cozy yarn wreath. The technique behind this project is very similar to the wrapping idea used for the bangle tutorial. Instead of embroidery thread, you will need soft yarn in all your favorite rainbow colors. You will also need a foam wreath form and a hot glue gun. Wrap the yarn around the foam form, dab hot glue to secure the ends, embellish with handmade felt rosettes, and hang on your door!

8. Pom Pom Peter Pan Necklace

Pom Pom Peter Pan Necklace Talk about an unforgettable statement necklace! The soft pom poms here were created using yarn in a rainbow of shades. You crumple or wrap them into fluffy balls and tie them tightly with string to secure. After you make a good batch of colorful pom poms, sew them neatly onto a felt Peter Pan collar base. Wear your statement necklace over a simple top and wow everyone you meet!
