Crafting a Handmade Journal is a great way for kids and adults to commemorate summer fun. This craft also makes a great gift for a crafty friend celebrating a summertime birthday.

Beach glass, a popular medium in summer crafts, makes for a sophisticated touch on either handmade or store-bought soap. Imagine surprising summer house guests (or a hostess) with a Beach Glass Adorned Handmade Soap. Kids can get in on the fun too, by helping collect polished beach glass or making handmade soap.

No summer party is complete without a sweet treat. These Summer Blossom Cupcakes are little works of art and easy enough to make when using purchase sugar flowers. Enjoy them with a cup of afternoon tea or surpise a summer birthday girl.
