These 26 craft projects are so awesome! Honestly, they’ll just upgrade your backyard from “drab” to “fab” in no time, unless it was already fab to begin with then it’ll just take it from “fab” to “faaaabbbbb”, there’s a difference. Some of these are simple and can take a few hours to make while some others are a more long-term project. Either way, they’re fun to make and fun to have especially for the summer months!
