Looking for something unique to hang on your walls beyond movie posters and album covers? I’ve got you covered! Here are my top picks for easy, creative DIY wall art perfect for your new home.
- Dart Board as a Pin Board
A dartboard is a fun and unexpected alternative to a traditional cork board, bringing personality and playfulness to your wall. Hang jewelry, photos, and reminders from it while staying stylish, and impress your friends and family when they visit!
2. Star Garland
Want to spruce up areas like doorways, windows, or the space above your bed? This easy craft is just the thing. All you need is colored paper and string, and you’re ready to create a cheerful decoration. Why not make them with friends during a fun craft-and-wine night?
3. Piano Pegs
This is a great place to hang shopping lists, reminders, and keys! All you need is some paint and a hot glue gun to put it together, making it a super budget-friendly DIY project for college students!
4. Jean Pocket Frame
This one is straight out of Pinterest! Do you have a pair of old jeans you were planning to throw away? Up-cycle them into a handy storage solution for keeping your essentials close by as you head out the door.
5. Custom Fridge Magnets
A fridge is the perfect place to add a little whimsy to your space, and making magnets is one of the easiest ways to do it. Buttons make great magnets, but photos and other small, sturdy objects work just as well.
6. Bottle Cap Photo Frames
You don’t even have to drink to make this craft! I’m not suggesting rummaging through the trash for bottle caps, but if you have a get-together with friends, you may find a few lying around. Instead of throwing them away, turn them into something creative and useful!
7. Number Plate Tray
This tray is an easy DIY project if someone you know has an old number plate lying around. You can also buy one online for cheap. It’s great for keys, mail, and other items, making it perfect for a side table by the doorway.
8. Framed “Framed” photos
Want to jazz up simple, small photos? The perfect way to do that is with a colorful craft-paper border! This will make your pictures catch the eyes of your guests.
9. Magnet Roommates
Ever wanted to feel like Cher with her outfit software? Create your own version of yourself and your roommates right on your fridge! It’s a fun activity for everyone, and a great way for your guests to play around with.
10. Custom Calendar
Buying a regular old calendar is boring, make a night of it and customize your own with friends!
11. Pin Lamp Shade
I have plenty of boring lampshades lying around. Start a new hobby by collecting pins and creating something perfect for your home!
12. Wine Bottle Candle Holders
Do your own recycling! Turn boring, empty bottles into cool and colorful candle holders. They’ll double as lighting for the dinner parties you host.
13. Domino Coasters
Coasters are stupidly expensive, but you can find dominoes super cheap. All you need are the dominoes and some hot glue to create the perfect place for your guests drinks.
14. Can Pot Plants
Start your own indoor garden using items from your trash. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! These planters look great on a wall or on a side table alongside our other DIY projects.
and last but not least…
15. Suitcase Book Selves
Go to a thrift store and pick up an old suitcase. Normal shelves are boring, but one with an antique flair will bring the place to life!
