5 DIY’s To Try

So, last week was pretty crappy. I had too much going on on the work front, the traffic did my head in and Charley had a night and a day or two of being niggly – i’m really hoping this week is a little easier to deal with and this weekend, bar a friend’s 40th which i’m looking forward to, we have NO plans, hooray!! With time so precious these days, i’m enjoying picking one to do a weekend and setting forth and actually doing it. Granted, most of these to do’s have been of the admin variety but maybe this weekend i’ll actually get to doing something constructive. Here are 5 fab DIY’s that caight my eye and that i (and maybe you) might be motivated to try. Click on the titles to go through to the original site where the DIY is showcased.

This is the DIY i want to try the most – remember macramé and just how Seventies it was? Well, these take the classic craft concept and turn it on its head, I’ve got a thing about hanging plants at the moment and i would love some macramé holders in our home. For string like this, you need to visit a place like CD Fox in Cape Town. This picture is from here but for a How To, you need to go here.

Isn’t this bucket wall a great solution for a cramped entrance hall? For the how to, go here – it’s in German but it’s pretty easy to follow.

This little cloud shelf installation is so cute and oh so easy to achieve! You can buy shelves for great prices at places like Builder’s warehouse – all you need is your idea and paint to do the job. Click here for the how to.

I was at Builder’s Warehouse the other day and i was umming and ahing about buying a staple gun – i wish i had now as they’re exactly what’s needed for a project like this one. Click here for the how to.

I love gold detailing at the best of times and likewise succulent displays. This is an easy peasy DIY that will take just a few minutes. Click here for more.

Any DIY projects up your sleeves?

Have a lovely Monday afternoon! V x
