These rainbow crafts are fun for any adult who loves color! There are ideas for all skill levels. Rainbow crafts are great for St. Patrick’s Day, Pride, spring, or any other holiday or celebration!
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for warmer weather. If you knew me personally you would know this is very unusual. I usually like to freeze my Podgeables off. Yes, I’m one of those weird people that enjoys being cold.
This year’s a little bit different. I’m ready for warmth, and I’m ready for color! Maybe you are too?
When I think of warmer weather, the one thing that always comes to mind is rainbows. We get quite a lot of them in spring here in the Pacific Northwest of the US. Once I start seeing rainbows regularly, I know we’re on the right path.
Plus this is the only place I’ve seen double rainbows in my life. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to see one . . . they’re pretty cool! But I digress. That’s science and this is crafts, right?
If you like rainbows, I have a great list for you of over 30 ideas! Don’t worry, rainbows crafts aren’t just for kids. All of the ideas on this list are full of color and definitely for adults! Why should kids have all the fun?
If you’re ready for the list, scroll down and let me know your favorite project in the comments. Or which idea(s) you’ve tried. Or how much you love spring – and rainbows. Basically I’d just love to hear from you!
These rainbow crafts are perfect for adults! You'll get a wide variety of ideas from home decor to gifts to party and more. If you like color, these projects are for you.
