Clay Modeling

We all know how much kids love to play with clay. If you have some spare time you can get your hands dirty with clay too. It’s an amazing material for many projects.

You can make many decorative shapes with clay. Making marbled coasters with clay can be a great idea. Just take two colors of clay and mix them partially. Roll it out and cut the size you need. You can add a bit of gold paint along the sides. This will give it a more professional look.

You can make clay showpieces or jewelry holders as well. Whether you decide to air dry it or bake it, it’s quite an easy project.

Recycled Planters

There could be no better way than making recycled planters from old pots and jars to do some arts and crafts and helping the ecosystem at the same time. We all have many old jars, pots, and cans lying at diy home.

These can easily be turned into a piece of art. Take those pots out and get some paint and paintbrush. Make a tiny hole on the bottom of each pot to allow excess water to drain. Then just let your creativity guide you and decorate the pots as you like.

After the paint dries, your custom planters are ready for use. Just add soil and plant your favorite succulents or seeds.

Vertical Garden

Once you have your own planters you really wouldn’t want to stop planting. But the problem is many of us don’t have enough space to arrange all these plants without suffocating them in one corner. We all know plants need proper air and sunlight to live happily. So you can’t just crowd them in one corner.

Nothing to worry, you do not need to dump this project just because of limited space. What you can do is to make a wall display of your plants. You can make it with wooden boards. This way you can give your house an oxygen boost even if you do not have enough outdoor space.

To sum up Lockdowns are very stressful for almost all of us. With so much happening outside, it might be tough to keep your calm. These DIY projects will surely uplift your mood and keep you busy. As a bonus, you get to spend some quality time with your family and your interior gets some refreshing new touches.
