10 Easy DIY projects for beginners

At the start of the year I always feel energized to do something new so I thought I’d share some Easy DIY projects for beginners. All of these products can be done in less than a day, so you still have some time before heading back to the office.

1. How to make your own DIY peg board

I started on a DIY Pegboard project at the end of last year and it is finally at a point that I can say it is complete! A pegboard is the perfect solution to a home office that lacks space, it is both neat and pretty and I find it very functional. I searched far and wide for some home office inspiration and finally just decided to take the leap and make a pegboard myself. See you to make one for yourself here.

2. Make an on-trend faux flower wall

I was part of the ISCA trends stand and one of the influencers behind the new range of colour taps that they launched. At the Decorex Johannesburg stand I revealed this faux flower wall art. See the DIY in this link.

3. Simple DIY couch arm table

A couch armrest table is a really functional item to have. When it comes to small space living a coffee table is sometimes out of the option, so adding a couch arm table will give you all of the functionality without utilising more space.

This DIY terrarium tutorial is for all of you who say you cannot grow anything but are desperate for a little garden. These little terrariums can be as big or as small as you want.
