Fun DIYs to Bring Color to Your Life ...

Since September 2011, Houstonian Ashley Rose has been giving me major life envy, so I'm thrilled that she's shared exactly how she's made all of her ultra-gorgeous, bright and colorful DIY projects... so I can have a tiny bit of her style, and you can too! Here are a few of my all-time fave Sugar & Cloth DIY projects.

1 DIY Floral Macarons

These are almost too pretty to eat! ... almost.

2 Fruit Necklaces

3 Confetti-Pattern Plates

Truly, is there any better way to display your macarons (during that few seconds they haven't been eaten yet)?

Aaand now the pricey camera strap I bought a few weeks ago means nothing to me.

13 Statement Printed Plates

You can make these with any print you want, but it's going to be tough to beat pink flamingos, am I right?

14 No-Sew Throw Pillows

You'll never guess what these gorgeous envelope pillows are made of. Ready? Napkins. Yeah!

16 Raspberry Smoothie Bowl Bites

pink, petal, food, flower, fashion accessory, Instructions at: ‌‌https://sugarandcloth.com/2016/08/raspberry-smoothie-bowl-bites/‌

This is more of a recipe than a DIY, but it's so tasty (and they're so pretty!) I couldn't leave them out.

17 Taper Candle Holder

My Bento boxes came from the grocery store, are made of plastic, and are ugly. Time to make these ones!

19 Printable Wall Art

This isn't so much a DIY as it is a PIY (print it yourself). Which of these will you print and hang?

20 Seersucker Tea Towels

I might have a slight obsession with tea towels, so I might have to make these immediately.

21 Glasses Case

Ha! I love this punny little sunglasses case!

22 Retro Beach Umbrella
