Celebrate National Craft Month: DIY Projects to Try!

March is National Craft Month, the perfect time to get creative and explore new DIY projects! Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just looking for a fun way to unwind, there’s something satisfying about making something with your own hands. Over the years, I’ve tried several crafts, and today, I want to share a few of my favorites: a DIY accordion photo album, a paper wreath, a faux stained glass project, DIY Mickey Mouse ears, and a sewn zipper pouch.

Let's Get Started

1. DIY Accordion Photo Album

If you love capturing memories, this DIY accordion photo album is a fun and easy way to store and display your favorite pictures. It’s a great alternative to traditional albums and makes for a thoughtful handmade gift. I can assure you this is a great gift. I made one for my mom this past Christmas. Also, a great library program idea. I used Crafting Cheerfully’s instructions.

A paper wreath is a simple but stunning way to decorate your space. You can customize it for different seasons or occasions by choosing different colors and patterns.

Mickey Mouse Ears

3. DIY Mickey Mouse Ears

I created my own Mickey Mouse ears as a fun and customizable craft, perfect for when I went to Disney last fall! Whether you want a classic look or a unique theme, making your own ears allows for endless creativity. I followed along and used Aloha Sewing Company’s tutorial and pattern.

4. Sewing Craft: Zipper Pouch

A handmade zipper pouch is a practical and stylish project that helps keep small essentials organized. This was my first time working with a zipper, and it was much easier than I thought! Perfect for beginners, this sewing craft lets you experiment with fabrics, patterns, and sizes to create a personalized pouch. I even used an embroidery machine to embroider “GLAM” on mine, which made it feel extra special.
