DIY Inspiration

I have continued work on my room for next year, even though doing so is rather pointless given I will only be there for a short while. I keep telling myself I will soon use all of it for a guest room, but some other important steps in life have to happen first before I will have a husband, house, and guest room :) Either way, I have made some more progress with fun DIY ideas for cheap that I would like to share with you as inspiration!

I had all my suppies ready to go to turn some boring household items, into beautiful creations for a bedroom!

I took a plain brown frame from Wal Mart ($2) and used some excess fabric, and spray adhesive and turned it into...

this! Super cute and a good use of extra fabric if you happen to have any that matches your room colors!

I was super stoked about the hand made frames!

I also bought some blue spray paint that matched my room and spray painted a mirror to give the room a modern edge and add some color!

Before...                                                                               After! :)

I also had some wooden shelves from the house that needed painting, along with a hot pink full length mirror, so we attempted to spray paint that..

...but it turned out to be somewhat of an epic fail...the mirror at least (can you see the pink shining through?! Ordinarilly pink is totally my thing, but it just wasn't working with the ambiance of the rest of the room :)

Beyond these DIY things for the house, I have also found some fun DIY wedding ideas (not that I'm looking...haha) but they are just fun ideas so I thought I would share!

For a summer wedding it can get hot, so here is a fun idea you can make for your wedding! On one side is the program for the wedding and the other side can have a romantic wedding quote, or a picture of the couple!

It's an easy DIY project that can also bring personality to your wedding ceremony.

I loved this idea too! You can find some wallpaper that matches your wedding, or just a fun pattern that you like and it can serve as a little flower holder for the end of your aisle or pews. Fun, cute, and adds character!

I'm sure you have all seen brown lunch sacks before, but what a fun way to light up your wedding at night! You can grab colored bags of your choice and put a cheap little candle on the inside and it can light up the sidewalk or outside of your reception venue! Inexpensive and so cute!

This is a fun idea I have never seen before. You take string of any color and wrap it all around a blown up balloon. Afer it has been placed on the balloon, spray the string, and then pop the balloon, and this is what you are left with! Fun string balls that look so romantic on a table at a reception!

And last but certainly not least, my personal favorite, stenciled coffee cups! You can find cheap white coffee cups at the dollar store or Wal Mart and then stencil on the word "LOVE" or whatever you want! You can then fill the cups with flowers or whatever you want and this makes a cute idea for a guest book table or somewhere else in the wedding!

I hope these house/wedding ideas have inspired you to do more DIY projects! You can easily do ALL of these things I PROMISE! If I can conquer them, you can too!! :)

Until then,
