This DIY project is a bit more involved, but it could be worth the time if you’re looking for an eye-catching centerpiece for your patio or garden.

The basic materials you’ll need are:

A terra cotta pot that’s big enough to hold water from the pump (1/2″ to 1″)
A pump and hose for filling the fountain with water (You can find these at any home improvement store.)
Rocks or pebbles to create a waterfall over the top of the pot (You can also use glass stones if you prefer.)

Solar light(s) to illuminate your fountain at night

Personalized Planter Pillows

To make a planter pillow, you will need:

Cut the foam to fit your planter shape and size (use a sharp utility knife or box cutter).

Lay out the pieces of burlap on top of each other so that they overlap by about 2 inches at each edge. Place one layer on top of another, with all three layers facing down; glue them together by applying hot glue around all edges except for one side that will be up against the foam when you assemble it later on.

Fold over this last flap and press down firmly to seal in place (repeat this process with additional flaps if necessary). Make sure there are no gaps between any two flaps before proceeding!

Painted Laundry Room Rug

You can create a beautiful, personalized rug for your laundry room by applying paint to it. The first step is to tape off the area where the stencil will be located and then apply painters’ tape over it in a pattern of your choice.

Next, use a sponge to apply the paint over top of this stenciled area. It’s best if you use a clear coat spray after painting so that everything dries evenly and doesn’t fade or chip prematurely—but this step isn’t essential if you don’t have access to one at home!

Once everything has dried for 24 hours (or longer), remove the masking tape from around your design and admire it!

PVC Floor Lamp Project

How to make a PVC floor lamp

Cut 2 pieces of white PVC pipe to 5 feet long, and one piece to about 36 inches.

Drill 3 holes in the bottom of each leg (8 mm), and 1 hole in the top cap (7 mm). (Hint: Make your hole saw bit size match your drill bit size.)

Using a depth gauge, mark where each lamp reflector will go on each leg and cut out slots with a jigsaw or saber saw you’ll need six slots per leg piece, three on top and three on bottom making sure they’re as wide as they can be while still allowing all four sides of the reflector ring to be flush against it when installed later on.

Do not make any cuts into the actual pvc pipe, just into its plastic coating! Then remove any remaining plastic with sandpaper or an electric sander if you have one at home already handy; this step should take less than 10 minutes total once everything’s been prepared beforehand since most people won’t need anything other than their hands during installation anyway.“

Cork Drawer Dividers

Cork drawers are a great way to make your kitchen, bathroom and office look more organized. Cork is a renewable resource that’s sustainable, lightweight and easy to work with.

A cork drawer divider makes it easy for you to separate items like sponges, washi tape and pens in your kitchen drawer.

If you have an office full of supplies, use cork dividers to organize all those pens and staplers in style! You can even add some personality by painting them a fun color or using stickers or stamps on the front of each one.

Painted “O” Wall Art

You can paint an “O” on a wall, or even on a canvas. To do this, you’ll need a thick brush and some acrylic paint. You don’t want to use too much water in your mixture because that would make it runny and difficult to apply evenly.

To create an O on the wall, first measure out where you’d like the middle of the letter to be located relative to its boundaries (considering things like doors and windows).

Next, trace a straight line from one side of that point all they way across until it reaches another side of that point.

Then do it again from another direction until all four sides are connected together in one continuous line.

Once you’ve done this, fill in any areas between each line with dots using smaller brushes (you might want two different sizes) until there is no space left except for white space between letters – which is what gives them their shape!

From furniture restoration to wall art, these projects offer plenty of ideas and tips that can help you give your home a new look and feel.

DIY Kitchen Faucet

To create a new kitchen faucet, you can replace the old one or install a new one. To replace the old faucet, you have to remove it first.

To remove an old kitchen faucet:

Turn off the water supply and drain all water from your sink.

Remove any plumbing beneath your sink’s countertop; make sure not to disturb any wires attached to either side of your cabinet.
Detach the mounting nuts on top of your countertop with a wrench and pull off the handle by hand. Use pliers if necessary for stubborn nuts or handles that won’t budge easily without causing damage. Once detached, set aside everything except for your pipes (which you will keep intact).

Hanging Garden Arch

This hanging garden arch is a great way to bring some greenery into your home without having to worry about watering or pruning. You’ll need:

Two sheets of floral foam (one per plant)
Four pots (or one larger pot) and drainage holes in the bottom
Potting soil, enough for all four pots plus extra for each plant’s roots

Tabletop Succulent Planters

Succulents are a great, low-maintenance plant for your home. They’re easy to care for and can thrive in places where you wouldn’t think to put plants.

To make a succulent planter: Fill a glass jar with soil and add two or three small rocks on top of the soil. (The rocks will help keep the soil from spilling out.) Place your succulents on top of the rocks, then fill in around them with more soil until all their roots are covered.

When it’s time to water your new little indoor garden, soak each pot until water begins to drain out the bottom hole in its base.

Then let it drain completely before returning it to its spot on your windowsill or tabletop—you don’t want soggy soil!

Remember that these plants need sunlight during warm months; move them closer together if they’re getting too dry next door but not enough sun exposure at nightfall when temperatures drop down into wintertime levels.”

If you’re tired of your old decor and looking for some fun and exciting ways to transform your space, then our guide on 12 home DIY projects is perfect for you. These projects range from simple and quick to more challenging, and each one can add personality and charm to your home. Whether you’re a homeowner or renter, you’re sure to find something that suits your style and budget.

DIY Garden Markers

No garden is complete without markers. They help you know where to plant your seeds, wait for them to sprout and then harvest them.

But what if you have more than one variety of plant in your garden? Or if you’re growing something that doesn’t have a distinct shape?

Fortunately there are plenty of DIY ways to make unique markers for your plants that will stand out from the crowd! Here are some ideas:

Stick-On Stickers: These are easy to use and create an attractive presentation on any surface. Make sure they’re placed somewhere conspicuous so they don’t get lost among all the other plants in your yard.

Plastic Bottles: As long as they aren’t too heavy or bulky, plastic bottles can serve double duty as both planters and markers and since they come in so many colors and shapes, these labels can be easily customized depending on what type(s) of flowers or shrubs you’re planting nearby!

You could also try using recycled glass bottles instead if those would appeal more aesthetically.”

Wooden Hanging Herb Planter

First, you’ll need to make holes in the bottom of your planter so it can drain properly. To do this, simply use a drill and long bit to create drainage holes in your wooden pot.

Next, measure and mark where you want your hanging wire to go on your wooden planter using a jigsaw or hand saw, depending on what tool works best for you!

Once you have cut out an opening for the wire with a jigsaw (or by hand), attach it using screws or nails that can be hidden under soil or mulch once everything is planted up!

You can also use hot glue if you don’t want any visible hardware showing through at all—this is especially useful if yours are going outdoors since they could end up getting wet anyway!

Finally, attach them by drilling screws into studs inside two adjacent walls in order to keep them sturdy enough not only withstand wind but also heavy rains too!”

Easy Mason Jar Chandelier Project

This project is a simple way to add some color and extra character to your space. What you need:

A mason jar chandelier kit – this one is on Amazon

Mason jars! You can get them at any hardware store, or even thrift stores or flea markets. They’re so versatile and pretty that they’re worth collecting in bulk. If you want something fancier, there are Etsy shops that sell vintage glassware too!
Wire cutters (or scissors) for cutting off the tops of the jars so they can fit inside one another easily.
A drill with a large bit (or a hammer if you don’t have power tools).

Gold Leaf Dipped Vase Project

Materials: gold leaf, rubbing alcohol, vase or other object you wish to gold leaf, paper towels
Tools: paintbrush (optional), masking tape (optional)

Steps:

Separate your gold leaf by rolling it between your fingers and thumb. If buying pre-cut sheets, remove from packaging and place on a clean surface.

Use a brush or cloth to apply the rubbing alcohol onto the sheet of gold leaf. Using masking tape if necessary, secure the sheet of gold leaf to the top edge of your vase so that its shape resembles an upside down bowl.

Once secured with tape, roll up each side of the vase slightly inward towards where it meets at its top edge in order to create a shallow curve in its outer surface instead of an acute angle like normal when viewed from above while holding both sides together tightly at once while applying pressure evenly throughout those two points until they meet perfectly flatly against one another (which may take some experimenting).

If using pre-cut sheets then skip this step altogether since there will be no space needed between each piece being applied here unless desired otherwise beforehand.”

Material	Quantity Needed	Unit Price	Total Cost
Glass Vase	1	$10	$10
Gold Leaf Sheets	1 pack	$12	$12
Adhesive Size	1 bottle	$15	$15
Paint Brush	2	$5	$10
Protective Sealer	1 can	$9	$9

Under Cabinet Lighting Project for a Kitchen Remodel on a Budget!

When you think of kitchen remodels, the first thing that comes to mind is probably a new sink or cabinet.

However, there’s a lot more you can do with your kitchen to make it look and function better than it does now.

One simple DIY project that will have a big impact on how your kitchen feels is installing under-cabinet lighting.

You’ll need:

Tools

Light kit (with power supply) – $15-$100+ depending on the brand you choose; check out this post for reviews of some popular options!

Wire stripper/crimper – $10-$20 at any hardware store or online retailer if you don’t already have one laying around! They come in all shapes and sizes these days so just find one that works for what kind of wires YOU’RE using 🙂

You could also try using our handy guide above; there’s probably something similar somewhere on their website too 🙂

Also keep in mind there might be extra things like wire nuts included with whatever kit you buy but those aren’t necessarily needed unless specified by manufacturer instructions–so again just follow their instructions carefully while thinking critically about whether they actually NEED them before buying anything else besides what was listed above 🙂

Lighting Type	Quantity Needed	Unit Price	Total Cost
LED Light Strips	3	$20	$60
Power Supply	1	$30	$30
Mounting Clips	1 pack	$10	$10
