SUMMER SURVIVAL GUIDE : DIY SUMMER ROOM DECOR I NEON DOTS

Hey guys! Since summer is right around the corner, I decided to start a summer series. I really wanted to do a series for summer because, everybody loves summer, so I decided that I wanted to combine all of my favorite things, DIY's, look books, and so much more all into one summer survival guide for you guys, so let's start with some cute DIY summer room decor to spice up and change your room. 

1) FRUIT COASTERS

•Round coasters

•Paints of chosen fruit

•Mod Podge

Take your coaster, and start painting the coaster with your paints so that it looks like your chosen fruit, and after the paint dries, put a layer of mod podge on the coaster, and let that dry, and you can use it to hold your drinks if you have a table in your room, or whatever you want to use it for.

2) STONE CACTUS

•Stone

•Rocks

•Paint brush

•White paint

•Green paint

•Pot

Paint your stones with the green paint, and use the white paint to make the accents on the green paint so that it looks like a cactus, and once that dries, pour the rocks into an empty pot, and once that fills the whole entire pot with the rocks, put the stones upward into the pot.

3) WATERMELON TREY

Paint your round wooden shape and paint the outside with green, and the inside with red or pink paint, or vise versa, and once those paints dry, paint on some black seeds, and coat that with mod podge. Afterward, super glue your white handles to the watermelon to make a cute summer trey!

4) WOODEN CARTON FOR SHOES

Spray paint your wooden carton and let that dry, and then put on the yellow sticker letters so that it writes out shoes, and you can put your shoes inside. You can also write out magazines, put magazines in there, and set up a small corner with some blankets and pillows.
