Winter + lockdown makes the ultimate reason to stay at home. And since we’re already locked up for 24 hours, there’s nothing better to cozy up and overcome boredom than tastefully decorating our homes. With these 5 DIY projects, you can create beautiful and useful pieces with minimal effort. And you’re sure to have more fun doing it than building furniture for any large company.
1. DIY pot ladder
As the saying goes: plants bring life into the home. But not all of us can afford large, lush gardens and terraces. But a simple ladder solves the problem. With just a piece of rope, you can hang small pots from it and get your desired wooded corner. And for those who are only satisfied with the real thing, here’s a challenge: try growing a climbing plant on the ladder.
2. DIY hanging fruit and vegetable containers
It says so much about our lifestyle that the problem is no longer getting first-tier foods like fruit and vegetables, but finding the space to store them. However, all you need is a pallet board, two or three baskets and a handful of nails to take it to the next level. However, if that sounds too complicated, check out the next project.
3. DIY wall shelf made from crates
Do you still have a few wine or fruit crates at home that you don’t want to throw away? We have an idea: give these cool crates a new coat of paint and mount them on the wall. This way, they serve as a stylish country-style shelf. Whether for the kitchen, bathroom or living room: you can place a lot of things on the cool wall shelves and create a special atmosphere.
4. DIY candle holder made from bottles
These great candle holders are perfect for the minimalists among us. Do you have a few old glass bottles to hand? Perfect. Fill them with green shrubs of your choice, how about eucalyptus or a few branches from a Christmas tree? Now fill the bottle with water and press a beautiful candle into the neck of the bottle. The stylish candle is ready. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get rid of the wine bottles you emptied last week. (Clearly, there’s nothing wrong with a little more wine in these difficult times)
5. DIY decorative boxes made from paper boxes
Hand on heart. We’re probably all in possession of a few paper boxes – the leftovers from online shopping. But why throw them in the paper garbage can when you can turn them into cool decorative boxes? All you need is a pair of scissors, a large piece of string and a hot glue gun. Now glue the decorative thread all around and your stylish DIY storage box is ready.
