Awesome DIY Picnic Hacks

At this point in the year, we’ve already chased away the tail end of summer and we’re heading into fall full force. In some places, however, the weather is still quite warm and mild, so you might still have plenty of enjoyable outdoor time left before colder weather sets in! Our favourite way to harness the last of of our sunny days is to have as many picnics as our friends and family are willing to go with us on. Of course, besides the food and family time, the best part of a picnic is that it’s a good opportunity for some cool DIY projects.

Clip-on utensils

Have you ever seen those cute little miniature clothes pins at the dollar store or your local craft store? Well, besides being absolutely adorable, they’re actually really handy as well!

Mason jar meals

Mason jar meals are actually useful in all kinds of instances, like school or work lunches or portioning at home during a diet, but we use them most often on picnics!

By now I’m sure you’ve noticed that we do love a good excuse to upcycle just about anything! We like it even more, however, when the upcycled used is super practical and saves us a lot of hassle.

Individual lunch boxes

If you’re having a very large picnic, say for a big family reunion or a wedding shower for example, then it can be hard carrying all the bits and pieces to the right place and distributing everything individually from one bag. Instead

Labelled soup thermoses

Have you decided to wait for your last picnic until the weather is a little colder because you love nothing more than a crisp fall day? Then soup in a warm thermos is a great idea for lunch!

Spices in wrapped straws

Are you a firm believe that no meal is complete without spices, even on a picnic? Well, we can’t disagree! That’s why we thought this idea for travel spices in our application was so neat
