Spring break is quickly approaching and, while a lot of people I know are packing their bags and preparing their passports, I’m planning to spend some time at home.

For the past couple of years, because I go to school out of state, I’ve chosen to go home and spend time with family, rather than going on vacation. This also gives me the chance to really enjoy my days off by doing things that I normally don’t have time for. For example, I get to tackle all of the projects that I’ve been wanting to try during the school year. 

If you’re doing a staycation like me this year, here are a few ideas for DIY projects to try over spring break.
