You do not have to be an artist to try out DIY projects, where there is no limit to imagination. DIY projects allow you to show your creativity and make your life simpler. Most of them are quick and can be completed in less than an hour!

This article is a great compilation of quick, easy, and clever DIY projects that include almost everything! Tons of ideas right below…

1. Rhinestone Vinyl Bead Bracelet:

Get creative with beads in the color of your choice and rhinestone gem combinations, and make your own bracelet.

Supplies:

• A clear elastic cord
• Sew on rhinestones
• Vinyl beads
• Scissors

Steps To Make It:

Step-1 Select your rhinestone design and, accordingly, cut two pieces of elastic cording about 3 times the circumference of your wrist.

Step-2 Then, loop one cord through the right holes of your rhinestone gems and loop the other cord through the left holes. Keep the gems in the center of the cords (so that there is the same length of the cords on each side of the gems).

Step-3 Loop both the elastic cords through the vinyl beads on the right side of the gems. Add beads in the color of your choice and then, loop the cords through the vinyl beads on the left side of the gems.

Step-4 Continue adding vinyl beads until the length of the beads and rhinestones are about ¾” to 1″ larger than the circumference of your wrist. Once you get the desired length, double knot the elastic cords together and cut off the excess portion.

Your bracelet is ready to wear! Ta-dah!

2. Beaded Flip-Flops:

Supplies:

• A pair of flip-flops
• Ribbon ½ inch
• Beads in assorted sizes
• Tiny seashells
• Hot glue gun
• Thread
• Needle

How To Make It:

Step-1 Start by adding a small amount of hot glue on the outer side of your flip-flop’s strap at the base till you reach the end.

Step-2 Wrap the ribbon around the straps on your flip-flops until they are completely covered. Add hot glue to hold the ribbon to secure the ends.

Step-3 Start wrapping the ribbon again around the center “V” and the strap of your flip-flops to fill in. Make sure not to make your “V” too tight otherwise it will be quite difficult to get your feet in.

Step-4 You are ready to start adding your beads. First, put a drop of glue under the beads and seashells, place them on the ribbon and once the glue is dry, start sewing them.

3. Candy Cane Hearts:

Supplies:

• 4″ to 6″ lollipop sticks
• Candy canes
• White chocolate
• Red or white sprinkles

How To Make It:

Step-1 Set out the lollipop sticks on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.

Step-2 Arrange the mini candy canes at the top of the sticks in a heart shape.

Step-3 Preheat the oven to 300F and place the heart candies in the oven for around 3 minutes.

Step-4 Once you take them out of the microwave, press both the ends together and pull out the sides to make the perfect heart shape.

Step-5 Fill them with a few teaspoons of melted white chocolate.

Step-6 Finish them off with colored sprinkles.

Step-7 Allow to set for at least 10 minutes and your candies are ready to eat!

4. Marbleized Easter Eggs:

Supplies:

• Drained eggs
• Nail paints
• A stick for stirring
• Paper towel
• A container

How To Make It:

Step-1 Pour a few drops of different nail polish colors onto the water surface.

Step-2 Using a stick, swirl the nail polishes around.

Step-3 Then, carefully submerge the drained egg into the colored water until the egg is completely covered, and quickly pull it out.

Step-4 Set the egg aside to dry. Scoop out nail polish from the water surface between the eggs, and repeat the above steps for each egg.

5. A Quick Holder:

Use a simple oven glove to hold utensils, a recipe book, seasonings or whatever you want!

6. Birthday Hat:

Supplies:

• Paper cones
• Paint brush
• Fine glitter
• Tinsel garland
• Mod Podge
• Headband (Or you can go with a ribbon or an elastic)
• Glue

How To Make It:

Step-1 Cover the paper cone with an even coating of Mod Podge.

Step-2 Quickly add glitter over it and shake off the excess. Be sure to put down a piece of wax paper before you do this so you can easily funnel your leftover glitter back into its jar. Let it dry completely.

Step-3 Now it’s time to seal the glitter so that you aren’t covered in it every time you wear the hat! Paint another layer of Mod Podge right over your glitter. Let it dry completely. It will turn clear, promise!

Put your hat on and get your jingle on!

7. Make Your Shorts Lacy:

To make these perfectly sweet shorts, you require only the most basic sewing skills!

Here’s the list of supplies:

• A white jeans
• Chalk piece
• Thread
• Needle
• Scissors
• Lace in 2 different types
• Measuring tape

How To Make It:

Step-1 Fold your jeans with the backside out and mark about 12 inches from the top across the pant.

Step-2 Choose a colored chalk piece as it would be difficult to see white color marks on white jeans.

Step-3 Cut your jeans across, on an angle.

Step-4 Now lay the larger piece of lace across the front of your jeans and cut a piece for the bottom of the shorts. Cut several more pieces until the front is covered till the pocket.

Step-5 Next, start cutting the smaller lace to accent the top of the pocket on each side.

Step-6 Once you’re ready with the laces, begin sewing the lace in rows by securing the top corners and several more places in the middle. Leave a little white space in between for a pop!

Step-7 And then, sew the tiny lace on!

Head straight to the nearest summer festival and sport your cutoffs like a total boho babe!

8. Design Your Pillows:

Supplies:

• Burlap
• Stencil
• Cutter
• Paint

How To Make It:

Step-1 Start by cutting the burlap to the required pillow size.

Step-2 Prepare the stencils; print the desired words and tape them onto a contact paper, and cut the letters out using the box cutter.

Step-3 Then, remove the backing, and place the contact paper onto the center of your burlap.

Step-4 Paint over the stencil using the black craft paint.

Step-5 Once you’re done with painting, hang the burlap up to dry, the stencil still attached.

Step-6 After it dries out, peel off the contact paper and, finally, you can see the exact design. Peel the contact paper gently so that the design comes out perfect and use them to decorate your hay lounge!

9. Eggshell Voltives:

Supplies:

• Egg shells (empty)
• Votive candles
• Scissors
• Egg crate
• Glass bowl
• Cooking funnel

How To Make It:

Step-1 Add the candles in a glass bowl and keep it in the microwave at 400 F and allow them to melt for some time. Meanwhile, take the egg shells, clean them and place them in the crate.

Step-2 Once the wax melts completely, take out the wicks and position them perfectly inside the shells. Cut off the extra length from the wick using scissors. The wick should not fall into the shell, and it should stay upright.

Step-3 Now, pour the wax inside the egg shell. For perfect results, use a cooking funnel and then, let it dry for some time.

Step-4 If you are good at arts, decorate the shell using a permanent marker, or you can leave it like that! Put the egg shells into egg cups, and light! Enjoy the evening!

10. Egg Flower Vase:

How To Make It:

Step-1 Drill a couple of holes on the top of the egg.

Step-2 Gently chip away the shell to make a wider opening on the top.

Step-4 Fill the egg shells with water and place the roses in the eggs.

Easy, right?

11. Rosette Lampshade

Supplies:

• Cotton fabric
• Hot glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Sewing machine
• Thread

How To Make It:

Step-1 Use the longest stitch on your sewing machine and sew down the center of each strip.

Step-2 Start making the rosettes by pulling the threads on each side of the strip to create a gather and then rolling one end of the strip inwards.

Step-3 Roll up the straight end until you’ve made a loose circle with your gathered strip and it resembles a rosette in the middle.

Step-4 Glue the back layer with hot glue.

Step-5 Adhere the rosette to a lampshade with hot glue.

Step-6 Continue the above procedure until your entire lampshade is covered.

Your DIY phone case is ready to use!

• Needle
• Scissors

How To Make It:

Step-1 Lay your skirt on a table and wrap it in the mesh fabric of the same size.

Step-2 Align the seam of the mesh with the zip (be it the back or the side), and if there is no zip, align it with the back for symmetry.

Step-3 Sew up the seam. Leave an opening for the zip, if there is one.

Step-4 Then, fold the top edge of the mesh over the waistband of your skirt and sew it down. Also, sew the mesh on the edges of the zip (make sure to leave the zip open for easy removal!).

Ta dah! This skirt looks simply amazing with a pair of heels and red lipstick.

14. Egg Shell Planter:

Spring is the perfect time for gardening, so why not take the time to make your own herb and spice garden? You can even create fun egghead eggshell planters.
Supplies:

• Egg shell
• Soil

How To Make It:

Step-1 Take an inch thick strip of cardstock and fold it into a ring. This will hold your egg.

Step-2 Take a clean egg shell and break off the top.

Step-3 Pin along the bottom edge and using the zipper foot on your sewing machine, sew along that bottom edge.

Step-4 Now, take the second piece of fabric and do the same thing to the other side of the zipper.
