Top 10 Summer Instructables
Summer is finally here, and so we've selected the top 10 Instructables related to the summer months. From enjoying the sun to cooling off, here are some of our favorites.
These are in no particular order, and there are plenty more great Instructables that didn't make the list but could be fun or helpful this summer.
These are only a few of the Instructables you can use to your advantage this summer. Enjoy the summer (unless you are in the Southern Hemisphere)!
These are in no particular order, and there are plenty more great Instructables that didn't make the list but could be fun or helpful this summer.
 Instant Hammock | This instant hammock is a simple, easy way to relax under the sun. The directions are clear and the moving images make following the directions a breeze. |
 Fly a Kite | This very appropriate Instructable from Kiteman gives you all of the information, and then some, about how to fly a kite. |
 Cozy Boat | If kite flying isn't your thing, perhaps you'd enjoy a scenic boat ride. A simple, easy-to-build boat (and its upgraded incarnations) could add a fun element to your summer. |
 PVC Air Cannon | For a little more summer fun, you could throw water balloons...or you could shoot them 250 feet with this cannon. I'd go with the cannon. |
 Make Lemonade | After a hot day, there's no better way to cool down than with a tall glass of lemonade. Try this, or one of the many other Instructables recipes. |
 Tetris Ice Cubes | To cool the lemonade, though, you'll need ice. You can make your lemonade that much better by adding these tetris-shaped ice cubes. |
 LED Picnic Blanket | To enjoy your ice-cold tetris lemonade, you'll want to sit outside and bask in the weather. This LED picnic blanket, with hard center serving surface, could be a great option for a drink or an entire meal. Plus, the lights give the blanket nice ambience for a nighttime meal. |
 Solar Lawn Mower | Before you can picnic in the grass, however, your grass needs to be mowed. This upgraded lawn mower uses solar power to provide the energy to power the machine. You still have to mow the lawn yourself, though. |
 Beach Cover-Up | If you want to look good while you picnic or when you hang around the beach, this Instructable turns an old towel into an attractive piece of clothing. |
 Heat-Blocking Curtains | If your house is hot and muggy, being inside will be anything but relieving. You can turn the AC up, but that uses up an absurd amount of energy and makes the electricity bill skyrocket. These simple, cheap curtains could keep some of the heat out and make your house more efficient and comfortable. |
These are only a few of the Instructables you can use to your advantage this summer. Enjoy the summer (unless you are in the Southern Hemisphere)!
