A homeowner would usually want to level up the house through the use of decorations. These decorations emphasize the style and the mood of the people living inside the house wants to convey. However, this may often leave one’s pocket in devastation due to the high cost that it brings. Recently, there is an emerging trend that may solve this problem. 

This solution is cost-friendly and would surely put a smile on the homeowners’ faces. There are known as Do-It-Yourself things or DIYs. As the name implies, these are the things that you can do without spending so much money. It only requires effort and hard work. 

To help those interested in starting or continuing to explore the field of DIY’s, here are the top 5 easy yet stylish DIY Home Decor Ideas: 

1. NO MORE LOST KEYS

Tired of losing keys? The solution lies within your pliable wires. With those, you can make a key holder where you can put your keys and get them anytime you need them. The first step to print out or write a saying, words, or name that you want your key holder to look like. 

Choose a cursive font since the letters should be connected to each other. This will serve as your basis or guide while doing your DIY. Next, grab a pliable wire and pliers and wire cutter. Taking one end of the wire, start folding it to make loops and eventually create the letters and words that you desire. 

If there are spaces between your words, just make a longer curvy line to be an alternative for space. Make sure to do this carefully, as this may cause harm to you. Once the letter forming is already done, cut the end of the wire with your wire cutter but, leave at least 3 inches long wire in the end as this will serve as your key holder. Bend the end part slightly, making sure that no harsh edges are left exposed. 

You can now hang those keys, and you can now have a mindset where to put your keys. No more lost keys for you now, and you get to have new home decor. 

2. MIRROR MOSAIC

You do not need a large sum of money to have those flashy mirrors for you alone can create it yourself. You only need a mirror with a vacant frame, old or broken CD’s, some cutting tools, and a shoe glue. Choose different colors of CDs since this will further enhance the overall look of your output. 

Cut those disks into different shapes. Be careful in doing this since they may cause harm to the person. When done, glue the pieces onto the sides of the mirror in a way like they seemingly fit like puzzle pieces. This does not need to be perfect if you aim to have that messy yet stylish mosaic look. After some time, the glue would already dry up, resulting in a chic and flashy mirror you got for a very minimal cost. 

3. BOOK STAND

This not the bookshelf we are talking about here. This is books literally being the stand for a tabletop. If an individual thinks of purchasing a small table to put his/ her vases or other things, then a DIY would be a good alternative. The things that are only needed in this project are old books that are just stocked or will not be used anymore by the owner, a tabletop, driller, skewer, and a dowel. 

Firstly, one must cut a box frame that will fit one book (preferably the biggest) and nail that frame into the underside of the tabletop that you have. You can repaint or style the tabletop depending on the style of art that you want. After that, you need to drill the hole in the size of a dowel on each of the book’s centers then, you may already add the glued dowel on the center of the table’s underside. 

Line up those holes of the books while creating a twist effect to the books by stacking the books in a swirling manner. After that, skewer the dowel to the holes and attach them to the tabletop. 

Now, you have an improvised table with books that are put into good use.

4. I AM MY OWN ARTIST

In need of new home decor? An art where you are the artist is undoubtedly a must-have! For this project, you will only need a canvass with the size of your choice (it may be as large as your walls), paintbrushes, and paint with the color of your choice. You can now start writing your favorite quote or saying. 

Do not worry about it being imperfect since it is your art, and it is not supposed to be perfect. It is supposed to make you feel something. If you are bolder in taking up this DIY as a challenge and you have that one part of your favorite story that you cannot really get over with, you can definitely write a whole chapter of your favorite book in your dull walls and create exceptional art. 

This will bring creativity to your home without you having to spend a large amount of money. 

5. CANDLES TAKE AWAY THE SHAMBLES

If you find your home having the need for some cozy and dim candles, then you yourself can make it and touch it with your own personal style. Admittedly, these are one will give off the vibe you will be wanting. In here, one would need jars of their taste where they will be putting their candles, old, non- toxic crayons are also needed since this will serve as the source of wax. Also, pre-made wicks are needed, assorted scents of your choice, wooden clothespin to hold the wicks in place, a saucepan, and a candy thermometer that can go up to 200 degrees. 

Firstly, you need to center the wicks inside the jars you prepared and put them in place using the clothespin and put them aside first. 

Proceed to cut off the non-toxic crayons you have at home. Cut them into smaller pieces so that it will be easier to dissolve them. Fill the saucepan with water and let boil, put a separate bowl on top of boiling water, and let the crayons melt there. Stir the crayons to aid in the melting until it is dissolved. 

Add your desired colors depending on what gradient you want to have and also pour in your desired scent. Measure it with a candy thermometer, and when it reaches about 170 degrees, you can let it cool. Be careful in doing this process as the heated wax may cause harm. After a few minutes, pour it into jars and let cool before removing the clothespin.
