It’s a funky and cool trend that will look modern and graphic, and not at all creepy. If you’re smitten with this *eye-catching* trend, scroll down and try your hand at nailing the look with these 19 DIY projects.
1. DIY Patterned Vase: Get a little cheeky and decorate a plain white vase with a gilded boob pattern.

3. Metal Hand Photo Garland DIY: These gold metal photo holders are perfect for displaying your favorite prints or postcards. The fingers will stylishly hold up your pics after you customize the size of the hands to fit your space. Metal flashing is thin enough to cut with scissors, and you could easily paint them any color, if you’re thinking you might have too much gold in your home (said no one ever). (via A Beautiful Mess)
4. DIY Mini Face Planters: Give your planters some personality by painting little faces on them. White egg cups are the perfect size for air plants and succulents, and the shape is ideal for making these mini people.

10. DIY Eye Slippers: These slippers are so easy to make you’ll be done before you can *wink* an eye. They’d be an adorable addition to a guest bedroom or a girls’ spa night in. Use iron-on stickers to make the eyes and lashes. (via Almost Makes Perfect)

12. Cold Picnic Private Parts ($264): Ok, so this rug isn’t a DIY, but maybe you don’t feel like waiting for it to be restocked (or paying an arm and a leg for these boobs). Instead, paint two half circles and two dots on a $10 rug to easily DIY your very own look for a fraction of that price.
13. DIY Mini Face Storage Box: If plants increase productivity, then this face planter is the cutest little coworker ever. Plus, he won’t judge your cat video breaks. Use foam to make the giant noses and paint the inside of the box a bright color for extra fun. (via Make and Tell)
