Happy August, crafty friends!


Want to find inspiring summer craft ideas you can work on during the month of August? If so, I’m glad you’re here! This site offers you a broad variety of summer-friendly tutorials, patterns, ideas and inspiration for needlecrafts, paper crafts, and bunches of other crafts. Below, I’ve rounded up a bunch of project ideas and suggestions for August craft ideas you might like to consider attempting this month.

Planning Your Craft Projects (And Everything Else in Your Life!) This August

How do you like to spend your free time in the month of August?


Planning August Crafts and Activities: Pictured here, you can see my undecorated August monthly planner dashboard, the garden-themed Happy Planner stickers I am going to use for decorating it, and a bunch of books I am interested in reading this month (no, I will probably not have a chance to read them all...)

I suspect that the answer to this question will largely depend on where in the world you are located. Surely some of you who live in the United States will spend time on gardening (and garden crafts!) this month; but, for those of you who live along the Gulf Coast or in Central Texas, I’m guessing it’s too hot right now for y’all to grow much of anything.


If gardening is on your to-do list for the month, I invite you to check out some garden planner ideas HERE. If you’re flower gardening this month, be sure to dry and preserve some of your flowers to use in dried flower crafts.


Whether or not you’re gardening this August, you can grab a planner and use it to create a plan for how you’ll spend your time.

These days, planner crafts are a thing. Some people use planners in the traditional way, to keep track of their appointments and other obligations. Some people treat planning as a creative hobby, using stickers, hand lettering and / or stamped images to design planner pages (or bullet journal pages) that are both artistic and practical.

If you maintain a physical planner, junk journal, scrapbook, or art journal, you might want to decorate your August calendar pages, journal pages or scrapbooking layouts with seasonal stamped images or embellishments. I invite you to check out the following pages for ideas:

Summer Craft Ideas

Summer 2024 is already in full swing. The first day of summer this year was Thursday, June 20, 2024. I hope your summer got off to a spectacular start.


If the craft project ideas mentioned above aren’t what you want to work on right now, I invite you to check out this list of summer craft project ideas to find even more inspiration.


Of course, if you are in Australia, you’re likelier to need winter project ideas right now, so I offer you this list of winter craft ideas instead.


If you have other suggestions to add to this list, I invite you to post a comment letting me and the other readers here know about them.

For even more ideas, you’re invited to check out our main index of craft project ideas. Happy crafting!!
