Another month has flown by—and with it, a flurry of creativity from our readers, subscribers, and craft-loving community! From vibrant wall art to zero-waste DIYs, June was full of personality, heart, and ingenuity.
In this June wrap-up, we’re highlighting the most-loved community projects, stunning reader submissions, and some of our favorite ideas that bloomed this month. If you love handmade inspiration, upcycled magic, and seasonal charm, this is your kind of post.
🌟 Why Reader Projects Matter
We started this space as a way to share DIYs, style ideas, and seasonal crafts—but it’s YOU who keep it alive and evolving. Seeing what you create from a tutorial, remix into something new, or dream up entirely on your own is the best part of running this blog.
Community features offer:
- Fresh takes on old favorites
- Real-world photos and settings
- A space to celebrate creative wins (big or small!)
- Seasonal relevance and reader-approved results
🏆 Most Loved Community Projects of June
1. Pressed Flower Gallery Wall by @CraftedWithBloom
Using our Pressed Flower Art tutorial, Instagram user @CraftedWithBloom created an entire gallery wall featuring vintage-style floating frames. The layout? Asymmetrical. The results? Absolutely dreamy.
- Mix of fern fronds, daisies, and violas
- Neutral frame palette for earthy vibes
- Minimal background styling to let the florals pop

2. Upcycled Frame Message Board by Ella R.
Ella followed our Upcycle an Old Frame tutorial and turned a thrift-store frame into a weekly chalkboard menu. She even added a tiny eucalyptus bundle to one corner for a botanical touch.
Tips she shared:
- Use black chalkboard vinyl for a smoother surface
- Seal painted frame edges with matte Mod Podge
3. Tissue Paper Suncatchers from Classroom Crafters
Teacher group @ClassroomCrafters submitted a rainbow of sun-catchers made from tissue scraps, contact paper, and enthusiasm. Perfect for classrooms, summer camps, or a slow Sunday at home.
