DIY Cardboard Life Preserver

ByKim Pepper July 20, 2023July 24, 2023

Nothing screams summer like a good old life preserver. It makes me think of hot summer days, water, and fun in the sun. Quite ironic considering the actual life preserver itself would generally represent something a bit darker, as you wouldn’t use or see one unless you’re possibly in some trouble. But nonetheless, today, it…
