Surprisingly Elegant DIY Projects - Light Bulb Vase, Toilet Paper Tube Wall Art, and Plastic Spoon Lamp Shade
Elegant DIY
Even though I am a big fan of do-it-yourself projects, I sometimes cringe a little when I see some DIY projects. You know what I'm talking about - the relics of yard sales, flea markets, and thrift stores - the things that you are not entirely sure what they are/do, but you're pretty sure that whoever made it, shopped a clearance sale at Hobby Lobby. Ok... maybe that was mean, but really.. Come On! I am actually a big fan of crafts myself but I am also a fan of products designed well. Despite all the bad, there is also plenty of good too.
Perusing Mad Blog a came across this super awesome post called "20 Awesome Do It Yourself Projects." I was expecting a post on "how to tye-dye your curtains" or paint you dog, but instead I was pleasantly surprised. Check out these three amazing ideas. I would proudly display any of these in my home.

Three Ways to Make the Most of the Apartment Balcony

Here are three ideas:
Here are three ideas:
- Attract nature to come to me.... maw haha! - Just kidding, I was actually thinking of making a bird feeder. Check out this cool idea of converting an old bike (I think..) into a device that attracts flying critters. http://www.instructables.com/id/Bird-feeder-1/#step1
- Add some green. - I will have to get a little creative with this one, as I have a cat that thinks that plants are for his chewing enjoyment. I have always liked the idea of container gardening, but the aforementioned cat has created quite the obstacle, leaving me with the options of hanging plants or the newer idea of vertical gardening. The "Recycle, eh?" blog has some great reuse ideas; one using rain gutters and another using an old wood pallet
- Hi-light the night! Sorry... I got a little excited there about some super cool DIY glow-in-the-dark jars. OK, I know that description doesn't sound super cool, but when you check it out, you too will want to make a few.
