Ready to add a some personal style to your home? There are many simple and affordable craft projects you can do at home to add freshness to your space.
From repurposing unused items to creating something entirely new, there’s sure to be a perfect DIY project for your home.
Repurpose an old glass vase
Need more storage space? If you have old glass vases, you’re in luck! Start this charming craft project by finding cloth, stickers and decorations you would like to adhere to the glass surface.
You can use glue or adhesive tape to secure your decorations to the vase. Once you have decorated your old vases, you can use them to store small items or as lovely centerpieces for your tables.
Tissue paper flowers & other antiqued wall decor
Creating tissue paper flowers is a fun and affordable way to decorate your home all year round. This project takes just a few minutes and craft supplies you might already have at home. You can use old gift wrapping paper or crêpe paper along with scissors and crafting wire.
You can mix and match different shades of flowers and switch them out to fit the season or theme of your decor.
If artwork with a vintage appeal fits your aesthetic, try using acrylic paint to create an abstract wall paining. With this paint style, you add different darker and more subtle shades to a canvas, creating levels of hues and texture. This artwork gives your wall an antiqued appeal without having to pay big bucks for older art pieces.
Bust out the sewing machine & the crafting supplies
If you enjoy sewing, consider making your own fabric drink coasters. Cloth coasters are washable and can be sewn together quickly. You can sew these coasters into a traditional shape, such as a circle or square. However, you can mix things up with other shapes, like hexagons or stars.
Other home crafts
If you would like to add some pizzazz to your mirror frame, try attaching jute twine rope around the wall of your mirror to create abstract art. You’ll need wall tacks to keep the twine in place.
You can find all the tools and supplies for this project at your local craft or hobby store.
If you’re ready to stretch your creativity and DIY skills, keep these simple and affordable projects in mind. You’ll be surprised at how much of an impact even the simplest personal touches can make.
About the Author
Hannah Sosinski
I started my career in the real estate industry at the age of sixteen and instantly fell in love.
I worked alongside one of the top producing agents in the country as their administrative assistant for nearly nine years before I took the leap to begin my own journey in the real estate industry.
Working alongside an agent who sells over three hundred houses a year educated me strongly on the Pittsburgh and greater Pittsburgh housing market. While working alongside this agent, I was lucky enough to be involved in several different types of real estate transactions and learned to properly determine home values, many aspects of negotiations and have learned how to close challenging deals while also handling a large amount of deals at the same time.
I have also spent the past seven years working as a property manager throughout Allegheny, Washington and Fayette County. I have managed everything from Section 8 to Luxury units.
Exploring the options of the real estate industry can be overwhelming. While working with me you’re able to sit back and relax as I have worked with many investors, home sellers and buyers and can help guide through the sale or purchase of your home and make it as easy on you as possible.
Whether you’re a first time home owner, downsizing, sizing up, looking to make your first/second or third investment, selling your home, etc. I can use my years of education to help guide you through the purchase or sale of the largest investment of your life.
I look forward to chatting about real estate with you!
