20. Creative Globe Recycling
All you need is some paint and regular markers to make a conventional globe into a wonder-struck item in the middle of an ordinary day. Not your cup of tea? Don’t fret yet! I swear; you won’t break a sweat to give life to this unique creation. Just pull out your black marker from the shelf to outline the continents on the globe.
Then, apply a few coats of black paint on the ocean area. Once the paint dries off, fill the continents with teal color, and allow it to dry for a couple of hours. Spray paint the stand with any color of your choice. Finally, add some sort of sayings to the shaded black area of the globe. That’s it! For a few hours’ worth of time and effort, you will end up with a fantastic self-creation that will really stand out at your desk.
19. Personalized DIY Map Magnets

If you are someone who loves map related things, here’s another DIY project along the same lines. These personalized miniature map magnets are simple and fun to create. Even an eight-year-old will be able to knock this out of the park. After all, how hard is it to cut parts of a map and plant them to a magnet? My budget for this little DIY project is nothing more than a few dollars.
Of course, I make sure to get strong enough magnets that can sustain the weight of the glass rocks and the paper. I usually purchase the round glass rocks from the floral section of the dollar store. Once they are acquired, I stick the map cut out on them. Then, I added another layer of glue to the back side of the glass rock to stick them to the magnet. For a few minutes of work, I end up with these adorable little jewels.
18. Personalized Photo Map Wall Board
As a common-sense tip, remember to cut your pictures in the shape of the states/countries from the map of the country or world you want to do. Frankly speaking, it’s a highly rewarding and fulfilling experience to witness the map fill up with life-altering travel pictures. What better way to recall the special days of your life?
17.World Map Tagging Wall Art
Personally speaking, I found the wall art to be the best means to put myself on the world map in my own unique style. It’s also been an inspiration for me to travel more. I often imagine where I will be traveling next. By the way, framed or unframed, both will work great. Of course, if you decide to frame the map, keep in mind that it will prove to be the most expensive part of this DIY project. That said, it will look so much cooler in a frame.
16.Homesick Map Art
For example, I have used sand to depict California, grass for Montana, and so on. You will begin by drawing the shape of the map on a cardstock paper with a glue. Then, you will sprinkle the dirt, grass, or sand on the glue drawing and wait for it to dry. Next, you will shake off the excess dirt, grass, etc, so that you are left with the desired shape of the map. Finally, you will plant the paper in the mitted frame.
That’s it! The rustic look of this homesick map art will prove to be a certain people-pleaser.
15. H&M HACK: Wall Hanging DIY
To put the words into action, you will need to get a cotton table runner that catches your eye, put your sewing machine to work, and end up with display-worthy results. The best part is that you can get the job done within a few hours without knowing how to weave. No hardcore measurements, markings, or talent needed at all. And, you will still be able to nail this thing!
14. DIY Geometric Lamp Decor
Once this is done, place the light bulb into the cage-like created structure. Right off the bat, you will notice that the lampshade has a mixed vintage look to it, which will garner a lot of eyeballs and compliments from onlookers.
13. DIY Minimal Floor Mirror Project
First up, think of a board to attach the mirror. You will need 12″ x 12″ pieces of wood.
Measure and cut the wood to fit the mirror. Also, sand the edges (if needed) to create a sturdy home for the bad boy.
Once done, slide the mirror in the place. Apply glue on the back of the mirror while placing it on the wooden structure so that the mirror stays in place at all times. Try it out; this mirror DIY project should be a lot of fun!
12. DIY Wall Clock
You can start by drilling a hole at the center of the round wooden board. Then, cut the wooden board from behind to fix the clock mechanism. Thread the clock movement piece through the center hole and follow the basic instructions you received to put together the hands of the clock. To attach the clock, you can make use of an old belt. Finally, hang it and admire your work with pride.
11. DIY Beverage Cart
The casters on the bottom will help you move the cart around like a breeze. The finished product will turn out to be a satisfaction bomb. As you can see from the image above, the cart can hold quite a lot of beverages. So, load all your fresh fruit juices, sip a drink, and pat your back for the fabulous job!
10. DIY Dip Dye Candleholder
A 2.55 mm thick Balsa wood can do the trick over here. Paint the wood according to your liking. Once the wood is cut and painted in the desired shape and color, place the tealights in the jars and then populate the wooden candle holders.
Trust me: you will witness your space light up like never before!
9. Hoop Shelf DIY!
To begin with, you will have to create a sturdy circle out of a wood to support whatever objects are going to be placed on it. Position a piece of wood at the center of the round shelf. Also, insert two wooden ledges inside the circle and stick them with hot glue. Press them well to make sure that they are secure or put a screw or nail on the wall. If you want, you can paint the outside of the shelf, or you can go with the natural look of the wood. In either case, you will be highly pleased with the end result. From books to flower pots, you can display a lot of things in this wonderful creation of yours!
8. DIY Leather Magazine Holder
7. Double Basic Table to Rolling Beverage Cart DIY
Serve your drinks in vintage style by turning two regular tables into a rolling beverage cart that will be good enough to provoke guests to admire your DIY skills. For this amazing creation, you will have to build the top and bottom frames by planting one table over the other with the screws and hooks so that the final product looks like the image above. The visible top surface can be covered with any attractive material of your choice. Of course, don’t forget to add a towel bar as per the installation instructions.
Add casters as well by using your nail gun. Including the hardware and everything, this homemade beverage cart will cost you less than half of what you would pay for it in a store.
The best part is that she will turn out to be a beauty.

6. DIY: Matt’s Woven Leather Stool
Finally, the leather straps are wrapped completely around the frame to prepare the seat. You can use the stool for holding books or as a breakfast tray. As a pro tip- don’t forget to maintain some gap between the leather straps. So, there you have it—a designer quality stool without casting a blind eye to your wallet.
5. DIY Mid Century Modern Coffee Table
To create a circular coffee table, begin by drawing a circle on a thick MDF sheet. Cut the shape with a jigsaw. Of course, sand the edges to take care of the weird curves. Then, drill holes at the bottom surface so that you can attach the legs. Once the legs are attached, wrap them up so that you can paint the top. Allow the paint to dry to enjoy a cup of coffee on the gorgeous table.
4.DIY Blush Pink Mid-Century Side Chair Makeover
Then mask the metal portion (newly painted) of the chair so that you can spray paint the plastic area of the chair with pink or any other color of your choice. Once done, allow the paint to completely dry for a day so that you can enjoy your new throne to the fullest. As you can tell, all it took is some paint coating to completely transform an old chair into a vibrant beauty.
3. Nail Polish Marbling
The nail polish sticks really well. If you notice gaps in color, re-dip the object. You can make use of a cotton ball to remove any smudges. The final product will look like a beautiful, expensive investment. Anyone out there can totally pull this off like a pro!
2.Tiered Macrame Plant Hanger
Show your plants some love with this tiered Macrame plant hanger. It will grace your space like nobody’s business. This tiered plant hanger uses square and half knots to create the design. So, you won’t have to fry your brain over this DIY. It hangs at two levels, and you should be able to handle this one easily.

At first glance, it might seem that you will need an engineering degree to pull this thing off. But, this notion is far from the truth. There are only three steps to this intimidating project. All you have to do is assemble the outside part, which essentially involves you to screw things together. Then, comes the wiring part, which is insanely easy. Finally, the cakewalk part-you decorate it the way you like.
Beyond this, you don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to cut wood, drill a hole, or do anything else along the same lines. Plus, you can easily get all the parts for the project from a local hardware store—lightbulb, USB wall charger, power cord, light socket, outer plate, box, light cord, nipple, locknut, and washer. Once everything is put together, it will light up the bulb and invite a bright smile on your face!
