If you're anything like me, basketball season is always a reason to celebrate. Whether you're a die-hard WNBA fan or just love the energy and excitement of the game, there's something about the sound of a buzzer-beater or a fast break that gets you buzzing with enthusiasm. It's the perfect time to get creative and show your love for the sport! I’ve put together three fun and easy basketball art projects and crafts that will have you feeling like an MVP—no courtside seats required. Whether you’re crafting with kids or just looking for a fun way to unwind, these projects are a slam dunk. Grab a few supplies, head to the craft store, grab a bottle of La Crema wine, and let’s make something to cheer about! 

Basketball Wine Coaster DIY

Every rookie knows you should never dribble your wine. A simple painted cork bottle coaster will be the best defense, just in case... You will need:

• Cork Coasters (mine is 6" in diameter but most craft stores have a variety of sizes)
• Multi Surface Acrylic Paint in orange and black
• Paint brushes

1. Start by painting the coaster. 2. Then add detail in black. Let dry a few hours... 3. And your drips and dribbles will never go out of bounds.

Basketball Inspired Candle DIY 

When the ball is in your court to decorate the table or bring a hostess gift, candles are always a slam dunk. Orange votive candles (these are from Ikea but you can find them everywhere) swish perfectly into paint pen nets... Draw a series of white Xs around the perimeter of the candle and add the rim in black at the top.

Basketball Hoop Earrings DIY 

Basketball is the perfect excuse for a new pair of Hoop Earrings... A fast break to the jewelry supply aisle for the dream team of ear hoops and orange gems... and it's official, you are ready for Tourney Time!

La Crema & the WNBA – A Perfect Match
