Tis the season for outdoor living. And I don’t know about you, but I have a couple of outdoor-minded boards on Pinterest, and it seems that I’m always pinning DIY ideas and inspiration that are lovely for my champagne taste, but detrimental to my beer budget.

With beer in mind, I’d like to invite you to our place for some beer. Oh, and if that’s not enough of a draw, then how bout some budget-savvy outdoor DIY projects on the side?  This month, the DIY Housewives’ focus is al fresco. Each month, this lovely group of home decor and DIY bloggers brings you a different set of fun DIY ideas that you can tackle in your own homes…without the drama, high heels and hair pulling. You can get that with those other Housewives, if you are so inclined.

My project is one that I hope you’ll love, if you haven’t seen already.

OK, so I did break out a sewing machine for these things, but if you can stitch somewhat of a straight-ish line, no frills, fancy thimble-work, etc, you can make these suckers. See the whole tutorial >>> HERE <<<.

 

 

The other DIY Housewives have some amazing DIY projects lined up for you as well. Check out their projects and pin some to your own Pinterest boards!
