Obsessed with Do It Yourself gigs? This article brings you a lot more art and craft ideas that you can easily create, using items already available in your home. A few quick changes are all that you need to design your home to the perfect eye-catching standard, so that you can impress the people around you and gain compliments. Go ahead and take your pick.
Pillow Pocket
Tired of always losing the remote control in your sofas or forgetting where you kept it? This is the help that you can use. Take out your old jeans and cut out the pockets. You can sew these pockets onto the throw pillow and never worry about losing the TV/DVD player remote again. If you don’t have any old jeans then you can easily make a pocket using any other pretty fabric that goes well with the color of your pillow.
Instant bench
Nope, this isn’t the complex furniture making process you’re imagining, but a very simple and easy one. Just buy a rectangular shelf pine from any lumber store nearby and attach 4 hairpin legs to each corner of the wood piece. Voila. You’ve just made yourself a very attractive looking bench that can be placed near your shoe rack. Now you don’t have to carry your shoes to the sofa faraway so you tie them.
Candle lamps
Host a lot of dinners? Customize your dining table with these simple candle lamps. Just place an LED light inside a wineglass and cover it up with a handmade lamp shade. The lamp shade is also very easy to make. You can use simple light colored card papers and roll them into the shape of a shade and tape the sides. You can also use transparent plastic sheets and paint designs over them if you’re skilled enough.
