One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s DIY Project

Do you want to spruce up your home? Do-it-yourself projects can transform ordinary items into one-of-a-kind pieces. It requires some time and patience, but you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank. You can save money buying secondhand items at thrift stores or yard sales. And don’t forget about your home! The most unassuming thing can be changed to something incredible with your personal touch.

 

Search your home for unused items, and simply use your imagination to create something new. This inexpensive DIY project used old wooden crutches and scrap wood to create a beautiful bookshelf.

Don’t let DIY projects intimidate you. Take a peek inside your garbage can, and use a piece trash to create your first project. For example, an empty Kleenex box was turned into a lovely washcloth basket. Just purchase some glue, jute, and canvas fabric to line the box. Guests will be amazed by your crafty skills.

The strawberry jam may be gone, but that doesn’t mean you have to discard the mason jar, too. Use the ones you already have at home. A mason jar can serve many purposes. The possibilities are endless.

 

For your next family gathering, decorate the tables with several mason jars.  Fill the jars with water and add a floating candle inside each one. Then, tie a piece of ribbon around the top.  Your family will surely admire these amazing centerpieces.
