If you live in Arizona, you already know that springtime in our area can bring out a surprising variety of creativity – from the annual Zuni art festival to the amazing exhibit of artwork made entirely of recycled objects. Why not get in on the creativity yourself? We’ve compiled five fun DIY Spring projects that may bring out your inner artist.
Hanging Colander Planter
A pretty metal colander can be spray painted and hung with twine on your patio to make a sweet and simple hanging planter. Line the bottom with sheet moss and potting soil and a season fern or flower.
Springtime Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are the perfect first time sewing project and can be made in colors or patterns to match the season. One yard of fabric can make a 16”x16” throw pillow.
Feed The Birds
You can make beautiful bird seed rings using nothing more than gelatin and bird seed mix and a donut pan. Use twine to string them outside where you’d like to see some new feathered friends.
Brighten Your Bedroom
Paint four patterned doormats and frame them in wood, to make a beautiful wall hanging headboard for your bed. Also easy to repaint for those who like to change their decor often!
Affordable Artwork
This easy art installation gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Simply fold a shower curtain with a print or picture you like over a simple wooden frame, stapling it down on the back. Hang and enjoy!
We hope you found something that inspired you to spruce up your apartment for the sunny seasons to come. When you take the time to make a space your own, it will always feel like home.

Knitted items make great gifts. They combine the uniqueness and thoughtfulness of a hand-made gift with the usefulness of warm wool. They are especially appropriate for Flagstaff, Arizona apartment residents, since they require little storage space and can help keep residents warm during the winter season. Below are just a few knitted DIY gift ideas that are sure to please the people that you love.
Knitted Gift Ideas
1. Throws. Hand-made throws are a gift that's sure to be treasured for years to come. They not only keep the recipient warm while reading, watching television or working at home, but they add a spot of color to any decor.
2. Hats, mittens and scarves. Since winter clothing accessories have a way of getting lost during the season, as well as getting dirty, a fresh set of mittens, scarf and hat make a great gift for men, women, teens and children.
3. Pot holders. Virtually any knitter can create an attractive pot holder, no matter their skill level. And, what household couldn't use a few new pot holders?
4. Coasters. Coasters make another easy and appreciated gift. They only take a little room to store in a Flagstaff apartment and can add color to the decor, while protecting the furniture.
5. Coats for pets. Pets can get cold during the winter, too. A knitted coat can keep short-haired dogs warm when they have to go outside.
Finding gift items for your friends who live in an apartment can sometimes be a challenge. Knitted items, such as throws, clothing accessories, pet coats and pot holders, show you care enough to take the time to create a hand-made gift, require little storage space and offer a unique item that your recipients won't see in the department stores.
