Mason Jar With Accented Lid
When you see how amazing this mason jar makeover turned out, you'll have to take a second look. The jar and lid have been given a new lease on life with a fresh coat of paint.

They leave your counter space open and provide a great spot to arrange incoming and outgoing mail by hanging it on the wall. These wires baskets elegantly hold your critical papers on the wall, eliminating cluttered countertops and spilled coffee on important paperwork.
We are all quite guilty when it comes to our tables cluttered with all kinds of letters from different organizations to the bills we have to pay. It can get pretty frustrating and confusing which one you should tackle first so this project is a very good idea because we all need some organization in our life, don’t we?
Welcoming Paint Stamped DIY Door Mat
We all adore the Dollar Store, and I'm excited to share this newest dollar store décor idea with you! I like seasonal doormats, but paying $20 or more for one that will only be available for a few weeks is really not exciting for me. Granted, that's how all holiday and seasonal decor works, but why spend more when you can save money? Use a Dollar Store Rug and some acrylic craft paint to create a cute custom Autumn "Hello" rug in less than an hour with no sewing required. This is a simple DIY craft project.
Supplies:
- Doormat from the dollar store
- Acrylic Craft Paint ( used here are red, orange, yellow, copper metallic, and white)
- A piece of Chalk
- Paint Brushes
Handmade DIY Embroidery Circle Hanging Plant Holder
When transforming two needlework circles into an unusual hanging plant holder, think outside the box, or circle in this case. They take a different approach than classic macrame versions, yet they nonetheless serve the same purpose for plant enthusiasts. You can put your small ceramic or terracotta pot in the center with an inserted cork base while your growing friend relaxes in its new favorite spot near the window.
Embroidery hoops are a must-have tool for those of us who enjoy hand stitching, but they're useful for a lot more than that. Here's a simple guide for making a hanging shelf out of a single hoop. At the bottom of your hoops, you can add decorative elements like tassels and beads.
Supplies:
- One 9-inch wood embroidery hoop
- One 7-inch rigid cork trivet (A wood disc or metal plate would also work)
- Tacky craft glue
- Binder clips or clamps
- Rope or cording
- (To make a smaller hanging shelf, use a 5 or 6-inch hoop with a 4-inch rigid cork coaster.)
See the easy steps here.
Have a lot of fun crafting these hanging shelves. They'd make wonderful gifts for any plant lovers you know!

Miniature Decorative Indoor Greenhouse Plant Home
One of the great ways to keep the temperature cool inside your house is by having indoor plants. And what better way to do that and at the same time keep things chic and clutter-free is by putting your plants inside a miniature greenhouse home? Your plant will thank you for it. Like this mid-century modern greenhouse. Tropical plants, general plant growth, as well as delicate, young plants and cuttings, thrive in greenhouses. The humidity in the enclosed area is usually high (which most plants want), and the glass walls keep it warm, which encourages development.
Supplies:
- Photo Frames: Four 8″ x 10″ frames and four 8″ x 8″ frames
- Four small hinges
- Wood glue and strong-hold glue, such as E6000
- Pliers & small screwdriver
- Craft knife
- Square dowel
- Tape or large bulldog clips

Bespoke Blue Milk Paint And Polka Dot Mirror
This is also another great way to personalize or ramp up the look of an old mirror. If you’re not confident or skilled enough to cut the wood, I believe Home Depot can do it for you, so no worries about that!
Supplies:

- Board planks for frame
- Adtech glue gun (or any glue gun you have)

Hereare the steps.
Cork Board Cabinet Organization
