The cutest Strawberry Crafts
For me strawberries really herald the start of summer and here in the UK the strawberry season is just about begining. I love strawberries to eat, to drink (strawberry daiquiri anyone?), to add to my drink and then eat (is it Pimm’s o’clock?) and also as crafting inspiration.
Fun fact - did you know strawberries are in fact, not a berry at all! They are an aggregate fruit but I guess “straw aggregate fruit” just doesn’t have the same ring to it!
With my love of the strawberry in mind I’ve put together some of my favourite strawberry themed crafts from all over the internet for you. Have a browse and choose some fruity summer strawberry projects to try. There are loads of different crafts so there is something for everyone.
Despite the title I’ve actually added to this round up of Strawberry Craft ideas over the years so there are in fact more than 24 ideas now - bonus!
