Insta-crafts: Easy DIY, No Tools Required

brick bookends

If you’re a little intimidated by the Do It Yourself world, try these easy DIY projects that require no tools.  I think the book ends will be my project this weekend!

Brick Book Ends

Wash the bricks and paint one edge with acrylic paint. Once the bricks are dry, use a Sharpie to write out book titles and add embellishments like those on the spine of your favorite novel. Then watch as your new bookends blend in with your books!

Chalkboard Cutting Board

All you need to turn a regular cutting board into a chic, customizable serving board is a little chalkboard paint. Well, that and the right combination of cheese and charcuterie, of course.

Chess Jars

Dress up your storage jars with nothing but adhesive and a little spray paint! First, glue chess pieces to your jar lids. Once they dry, spray-paint and…checkmate! You’ve got yourself a candy jar fit for a king—or queen.

Clothes Pin Mirror

Dip the ends of your clothespins into acrylic paint and let dry. Then pin them around the perimeter of a small, round mirror for an easy and charming place to check your face before you run out the door!

Painted Utensils 

To give your kitchen a little homemade charm, cut small strips of fine-line masking tape and arrange them in a stripe or chevron pattern around the base of some wooden utensils. Then spray-paint the tape pattern, making sure to protect the upper part of the utensils from the paint. Once the paint dries, remove the tape, et voilà! Kitchen utensils that are truly your own.
