Painted Mason Jar Organizers:
Simple mason jars can be transformed into beautiful and functional organizers with a little paint and creativity. First, clean the mason jars thoroughly. Then, choose your favorite colors – acrylic paints work best.
You can paint the jars solid colors, create ombre effects, or even add patterns using stencils or freehand designs. Once the paint is dry, you can use these jars to store anything from makeup brushes in your bathroom to stationery on your desk or even kitchen utensils.
Painting jars is a very easy and fun project. The colors you select should match with your room's colour. You can also use chalk paint to give the jars a rustic look. Add some twine or ribbon around the top for an extra touch.
Think creatively and see what other materials like old buttons you can add. The main advantage is that you can keep changing the colour as per your need. This project is useful for organizing small items lying around, giving it a nice and clean look.
Personalized Photo Coasters:
Instead of simple coasters, why not create coasters that showcase your memories? This is a sentimental and practical DIY project.
You'll need plain ceramic tiles (available at most hardware stores), your favorite photos printed in the right size to fit the tile, Mod Podge (a crafting glue and sealer), and felt pads. Cut the photos to the size of the tile.
Apply a layer of Mod Podge to the tile and carefully place the photo on top, smoothing out any air bubbles. Let it dry completely, and then apply several more coats of Mod Podge, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. This will seal the photo and protect it from moisture.
Once everything is dry, glue felt pads to the bottom of the tile to prevent scratching your furniture. Now you have personalized coasters, perfect for everyday use or as a thoughtful gift. These not only look good, but also remind you of happy times.

Rope Basket:
Add a nautical or rustic touch to any room with a DIY rope basket. All you need is some thick rope (jute or cotton rope works well), a hot glue gun, and a container to use as a mold (a bowl or bucket will do).
Start by applying a dollop of hot glue to the bottom of your container and attach the end of the rope. Begin coiling the rope around itself, applying glue to each coil to secure it. Continue working your way up the container, maintaining a tight coil and gluing as you go.
Once you reach the desired height, cut the rope and glue the end securely. You can leave the basket as is for a clean look, or add handles made from rope or leather for a more functional design. This project is great for storing blankets, toys, or even plants.
This is not only a decorative piece but is useful in storage. Using different colours of rope can make the basket more appealing. You can even decorate the outside of the basket with shells or beads found on the sea-shore for a beachy vibe.
Macrame Wall Hanging:
Macrame is back in style! This simple knotting technique can create stunning wall decorations. All you need is some macrame cord (available at craft stores), a wooden dowel or branch, and a pair of scissors. There are many online tutorials that guide you to easy macrame knots and patterns.
Basic knots like the square knot and the lark's head knot are good starting points. Once you've mastered a few basic knots, you can create intricate designs and patterns. Hang your finished macrame wall hanging in your living room, bedroom, or even your balcony for a bohemian touch.
You can change the patterns and cord colours to fit the vibe. This project doesn’t need glue or needles, just your fingers and a little patience. It is a simple yet effective way to add texture and visual interest to your walls.
Painted Terracotta Pots:
Terracotta pots are budget-friendly and can be easily customized to match your decor style. You can paint them with acrylic paints, use stencils to create patterns, or even distress them for a rustic look. Before painting, clean the pots to make sure the paint sticks properly.
For a longer-lasting finish, seal the painted pots with a clear varnish. Once you're done, you can use these pots to display your favorite plants. You can line them up on your balcony, use them as centerpieces on your dining table, or even group them together in a corner to create a mini-garden.
Paint them with bright colors to add some fun to indoor spaces. Try using fabric scraps to decoupage the pots, giving them a funky style.
Bottle Lamp
Empty glass bottles, especially wine bottles, can have a new life with some simple customization. Clean the bottle properly and ensure it is dry. You can then use a drill to make a hole in the back of the bottle, near the base.
Alternatively get some fairy lights or any LED lights from local stores and insert it into the bottle. When lit, it gives a great ambiance. These can be used as night lamps or decorative lights.
Unique Wall Art using fabric
Old fabric pieces, clothing scraps can be reused as wall art. Using colourful clothes or embroidered pieces, one can create attractive wall hangings. These can be a nice way to add texture and colour to one's room. Consider framing them and adding lights behind it that accentuate these colours.
These seven DIY projects are just the beginning. With a little imagination and creativity, you can transform your home into a space that truly reflects your personality. So, get inspired, gather your supplies, and start creating! Who ever said decorating a house is expensive?
