Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the latest trends – things change so quickly, and I for one don’t have the time or the budget to update my closet so regularly! Here are some DIY’s I found that can help give the clothes you already have a little update. Some of these ideas, would be perfect for that daughter, niece, or granddaughter in high school or junior high, as well!
Happy DIY-ing!
7. Vintage Dress Transformation
What better way to combine two absolutely lovely things, lighting, and photography! I know for the most part we’ve all switched to digital photography and film negatives are hard to come by. I think pulling out some of the old negative from years gone by makes this project that much more special! Click here to see a larger step by step!
You can never have too many candles. They contribute to ambience, add fragrance, and can really bring a little extra something to a room. I’ve found some really smart candle and candle holder DIY’s. I wish I would’ve thought of some of them myself!

3. Colorful Utensil Organization
I, for one, just can’t live without chap stick of some sort. A personal favorite of my is Burt’s Beeswax, but how much fun would it be to make your own?! This recipe also uses beeswax, and as a bonus, you include a few shavings of your favorite lipstick shade! A DIY tinted lip balm -and just in time for summer. How perfect!

I’m a sucker for nail polish. It’s a rarity that I can leave the store without picking up a new color. Nail art is all the rage this summer, and I’ve had loads of fun trying some of these tutorials! The first one is super cute, especially with the 4th of July just around the corner.
When I stumbled across this rug tutorial, I nearly fell out of my chair! Our home has wood floors, and can sometimes feel cold and a bit empty (not to mention our poor dog slides around everywhere!) so rugs are a must have. Their prices, however, are not. Here is a budget friendly alternative that looks great! A bonus is, if you get tired of it, you can make a new one! Here is the tutorial for this brilliant DIY.
With the weather getting warmer and warmer, all I want to do is spend time out in my yard. This adorable DIY project makes my time out there that much more enjoyable! It combines my love for pretty things, with my love for growing things! You could also put candles in the little pots to add some ambience to your yard in the evenings. Here is a step by step tutorial from diyshowoff.com.
