So, it’s summertime. It’s hot. You can only go to the pool so many times before it starts to get kind of boring. But luckily, there’s a cure for your teen’s inevitable summer boredom. Summertime is the perfect time to experiment with crafts, and there are plenty of fun and easy crafts out there for kids, and teens! Here are 10 easy craft ideas for your teen that they’re sure to love.  

1) Mason Jar Fairy Lights 

This cute light up mason jar is super easy and has so many uses. Just go to your local craft store and pick up some glow-in-the-dark paint, a mason jar, a long paintbrush, and some paper. 

2) Sharpie Word Mug 

I’ve lost count of how many Sharpie mugs I’ve made. They’re so easy! Just get a plain white mug, oil-based Sharpies, and letter stickers, and you’re all set. 

3) Borax Crystals 

This is one of the most fascinating crafts I’ve ever made. You can create your own crystals with just borax, hot water, and food coloring. SO cool!

All you need for this pretty candle holder is a bag of glass beads (any color you want) and a glass candle holder. Both can be found at the dollar store. Glue the beads to the glass holder and you’re all done

This gorgeous letter craft is perfect for spring and summer It can be made with fake flowers, a foam board, a hot glue gun, a utility knife, a pencil, and scissors.
