You feel comfortable with scissors and glue and maybe even a sewing machine, but it’s time to break out of your comfort zone and explore the great unknown (or at least the lesser-used supplies in your diy arsenal).
What do you say? Let’s crawl to the back of your closet and dust off those supplies you haven’t used in a while. It’s diy time! And this week it’s all about your modern home.
Here are your projects and the supplies you’ll need…
1. DIY Supply: house paint
(above)Â Turn a dingy planter into a diy project full of sunshine on Old Brand New.
2. DIY Supply: electric drill and drill bits
Create a modern birdhouse for your feathery friends.
3. DIY Supply: slow cooker (yep the one typically used for food)
Make your own set of dip-dyed candles from Martha Stewart.
4. DIY Supply: dremel tool
Bring plants indoors with a diy wall garden made of magnetic metal tins.
5. DIY Supply: glass etching cream
And finally, quench your thirst for design with this tutorial from Curbly to make your own Eames-inspired drinking glass.
What DIY supplies will you be dusting off this weekend?
