DIY Wall Weaving Hack
Weavings are still the coolest way to give your walls a touch of boho chic or modern texture. If you love the geometric look of the UO Nakki Half Circle Wall Hanging ($59), you can easily hack the same design with an armful of yarn in colors that play well with your existing decor. (via Brit + Co)

DIY Clay Rose-Marbled Incense Holders
Grab your clay and get that faux marbling on to create a hack of UO’s Jarmel by Jarmel Cactus Incense Holder ($21). Follow this DIY for swirly, rose pink incense holders, or copy Urban Outfitter’s cactus shapes. Pro tip: Use cookie cutters for clean lines. (via Sugar & Cloth)
DIY Ice Dye Pillows
You can never have too many throw pillows, and soft tie-dye patterns are just the thing to embrace all-things summer. Take the DIY approach to this UO Organic Tie-Dye Pillowcase Set ($39) by using ice cubes and colored fabric dye. (via Dans le Lakehouse)

DIY Cat Mirror
If a space dedicated to primping is on your wish list this spring, you’re going to need a new mirror. The Urban Outfitters Margot Pyramid Table Mirror ($29) is eye-catching, but it’s just as easy to DIY a freestanding version from unfinished wood. Add some feline ears, and you’ve got the coolest copycat around. (via Dream a Little Bigger)
DIY Key Shelf
A key shelf isn’t the most exciting home purchase, but it is one of those things that makes a huge difference in how quickly you get out the door every morning. The Urban Outfitter’s Reagan Rectangle Wooden Shelf ($39) is uber stylish, but with a couple pieces of wood and 15 minutes, you can create a modern accessory rack for yourself. (via Burkatron)
DIY Tassel Throw Pillow
Obvi, this gorg Urban Outfitters Aiko Crochet Fringe Bolster Pillow ($59) would look great on your sofa, but the DIY version is equally as rad. If you feel like you’re missing out, use green fabric and long tassel fringe around the edge for a spot-on hack. (via La La Land)
DIY Typographical Wall Art
Recreate this UO X Secret Holiday & Co. It’s OK Banner ($90) with a quarter yard of canvas and a sheet of felt for the letters. Play around with block letters or cursive, then find a fun quote to take your gallery wall to the next level. (via Brit + Co)
