Help Summer Rain Grow

I’ve always loved making things myself, and Summer Rain has given me a place to share that with other people who enjoy creating too!!!

There’s a lot that goes into the projects you see here—buying ingredients and supplies, testing recipes, making them again when something doesn’t work quite right, taking photos, writing tutorials, and keeping the website going.

If you enjoy Summer Rain and would like to help me keep creating, you can become a supporter on Patreon for $3 a month.

Your support helps me continue making new recipes, trying new ideas, and sharing more DIY projects with you. It also helps me keep improving the website and turn some of the many ideas I have into projects I can actually share.
And if Patreon isn’t for you, that’s completely okay.

Reading a post, trying a recipe, sharing something you enjoyed, or simply coming back to Summer Rain all help more than you might realize.

Thank you for being here and for supporting Summer Rain in whatever way you can.
