3. Stamped pouch
This craft turns a plain pouch into something much brighter and cuter. By using lemons and limes as a stamp, you get a distressed look when some of the paint doesn't transfer. Choose a pouch with coordinating color zipper so the finished project looks polished.

4. Sunglasses
If you want to make a bold outfit statement this summer, then these are the glasses for you! If you want a more understated look, however, try adding lemons only to the corners of the glasses. If lemons aren't your thing, just switch up the color to mimic the look of other fruit (such as pink for grapefruit or green for limes).
