You’re a gal on the go, and you don’t have time to rummage around your bag for those ever-elusive keys.

DIY Marble and Gold Table

Shorter days = more cozy dinners on the couch. Whether you’re hosting a Netflix binge party or you’re looking for a slender table for your teeny living room, you can use Anthro’s Pendulum Side Table ($268) as inspiration to seriously brighten up your TV dinners. (via Sugar & Cloth)

DIY Round Felt Ball Pillow

DIY Cheese Knives

Got any plans for your first post-holiday get-together? Before you consider shelling out for Anthro’s Hammered Brass Cheese Knives ($36), check out this rad DIY that teaches you how to make your own geometric handled cheese knives. Extra points if you paint the handles to match your dinner party color palette. (via Sugar & Cloth)

DIY Embroidered Pencil Pouch

Writing up those career New Year’s resolutions requires a hefty handful of good pens. If you agree that a pencil pouch shouldn’t cost more than your favorite markers, this is the DIY for you. Pick up some embroidery and replicate — nay, improve on! — Anthro’s Idiom Pencil Pouch ($28) with a one-of-a-kind embroidery quote. (via Brit + Co)

DIY Wooden Planter

Natural textures are trending hard this season, so jump on the bandwagon with a DIY version of Anthro’s Tree Trunk Planter ($32+). Hit up your local thrift store for an inexpensive wood bowl and add legs for a cool, mid-century look that’ll keep your garden game on point. (via A Beautiful Mess)

DIY Faux Fur Throw

Although Anthro’s Fireside Faux-Fur Throw ($98) is back ordered all the way until February, that’s no problemo. You can easily make your own with an easy sewing project. Seriously, you can put this blanket together in about 30 minutes. Now that sounds more appealing than waiting two months to cuddle up, doesn’t it? (via Gina Michele)

DIY Poster Hanger

Use Anthro’s Essonne Wall Hanger ($38+) as inspo to switch things up on your gallery wall. The options for customization here are endless — stick with natural wood boards to keep the look minimal or copy Anthro’s version a bit more closely with fancy filigree and gold paint. Whichever way you roll, it’s guaranteed you can hang several pieces of really big art for less than one of the originals. (via Crafted)

DIY Clipboard

Raise your hand if “get organized” is topping your to-do list. Since nothing encourages productivity like pretty office accessories, the floral glam of Anthro’s Week Ahead Clipboard ($20) is super enticing. You know what else is enticing? The significant price difference with this DIY clipboard project. Real life Pinterest boards, here you come. (via Craft + Tell)

DIY Notebook

You can never have too many notebooks, especially when you’re keeping track of a million projects.
