8 Fruit Inspired DIY Projects

08/04/2014 by Jennifer 6 Comments

Fruit. Is. Everywhere. This summer, it’s one of the biggest interior/fashion/craft trends. I have learned that you can put a fruit on almost anything and it instantly becomes cute. The pineapple and watermelon departments are especially booming. I’ve been loving the fruit-inspired DIY projects floating around the blogosphere so I decided to gather up my very favorites to share with you!

    I’m a big fan of the exotic trend, be it patterns with flamingoes, large leaves or… pineapples! I really think it’s a cute pattern! Watermelon and citrus are not bad either! I love the umbrella and welcome mats tutorials! The potsholders are pretty too! Thanks for sharing!

    I love the printed zipper purses! Great for tossing a few things in and slipping into your bag, with a pop of bright color :)

    Have a great Monday!

    Undeniably cute. Try as I might to resist, I can’t. However, I do prefer a grouping of different fruits rather than one repeated motif. Anyway, checking out the tissue honeycombs now.

    I expecially like this fruit ispirations. Welcome mats and the umbrellas are my favourite . Here in Italy the weather is so bad during this days, so I’m looking for colours everywhere. Nice post and nice photogallery :)
