We’re a big fan of mismatched china and tableware, and this Pride-themed tablescape from HGTV editor Camille Smith really takes the cake. Each place setting is inspired by one color of the rainbow, from the plates to the napkins. The vintage colored glassware alone is goal-worthy.

Celebrate Pride month with healthy snacking habits for the whole family. Who can resist an adorable veggie rainbow with pepper bands and cauliflower clouds?

Celebrate Pride with your own colorful cocktail. HGTV editor Chelsea Faulkner figured out how to infuse wine with Skittles to create a rainbow of colored vino. But she didn’t stop there. She also hacked a way to create a frozen drink without a slushie maker or blender. Genius.

Quilts used to be a way to preserve family heritage and create heirlooms to pass down through generations. They’ve kind of faded away in our craft history, but some makers are bringing them back. This June, why not make your own family pride quilt or make one for someone in the LGBTQ+ community without family to surround them with love. LGBTQ+ youth centers and homeless shelters are great places to donate.

Rock painting is back! Though at HGTV, we would argue it never went away. Create rainbow-painted rocks for your porch or patio or use them as plant markers in the garden. Just remember to use outdoor paint.

This is a great craft for using those random broken crayons and stubs at the bottom of your kiddo’s art bin. It’s also perfect for displaying in the window if your neighborhood is doing a rainbow hunt. Just spread out bits of crayon between wax paper and then use an iron to melt the shavings into a beautiful rainbow.

Instead of buying a neon sign, make your own! This faux neon lamp is glass-free and uses colorful EL wire instead. It’s a great project for a tween or teen room.

Celebrate Pride outdoors and bug bite-free with this nifty accessory. Not only does this rope bracelet rock a fun rainbow pattern, but it also repels mosquitoes.

Deck out the kitchen or dining room table with a colorful spread for June with this painted table runner. You don’t even need fabric — just a roll of craft paper and some paint.

Add a pop of color to your porch or patio with a DIY wind spinner. This lightweight spinner is made using Perler beads. Yep, those things you melted at summer camp! This also makes a great DIY gift for housewarming parties or first-time homeowners.

Upgrade a fan for summer by creating a spinning rainbow. All you have to do is wrap each fan with different colored washi tape to create your very own spin art. Just make sure to remind little ones that although it’s pretty, it's not for touching!
