With Easter right around the corner and St. Patty’s Day just behind us, take a brief break from all the holiday celebrations with a little bit of DIY R&R. Get in touch with your inner ’90s kid with a totally new way to use Perler beads, finally figure out how to decorate that sad corner of your bedroom and hey, maybe even make your loyal pup a little something special. Scroll on down for 10 projects to tackle before Monday’s return.
1. Corner Organizer: Take advantage of that corner space with this minimal rack. Use shower rod brackets and a wooden dowel pole to create a small rack where you can hang your favorite garments or maybe even a planter. (via Design Sponge)
2. Magnetic Fridge Vases: Make use of empty nail polish bottles by attaching a magnet to the back of them and repurposing them as tiny fridge vases. (via Woods of Bell Trees)
3. Perler Bead Coasters: Reconnect with that craft you used to love as a kid. Put a grown-up spin on Perler beads by making your design into patterned coasters. (via Brit + Co)
