Working on a new project right now! Can't wait!!!
You know that you're a true DIYer when half of the stuff in your room you made.

DIY Sunglasses Necklace Holder


For this project you will need:

. An old pair of sunglasses
. A tack
. Necklaces, bracelets, rings, headbands, etc.

First, take your old sunglasses and pop the lens out of them. The easiest way to do it is to slowly go around the edges with a knife. (be careful!!) Next, stick your tack in the wall.
It should look something like that. Next, fold one of the ear pieces inward and keep one sticking out. Then, with the lens hole that the inward ear piece is connected to, hang it on the tack. Finally, hang all of your necklaces and bracelets on there. VOILA!! Your very own sunglasses necklace holder. I hope you enjoyed making this, and if you didn't, thanks anyway.

You know that you're a true DIYer when you spend all night crafting and you can't stop.

DIY Decoupage Coffee Table


For this project, you will need:

. Mod Podge
. Magazine clippings
. An old coffee table
. A big paint brush or a sponge
. (optional) Paint

This is another easy level project that anyone can make. Start off by finding an old coffee table. (they have lots at flea markets, thrift stores, garage sales, etc. Or you can just take one you already have.) If you want it to have a nice colored background, you can paint it. I painted mine purple. Let that dry for a couple hours, and cut out some magazine clippings. I found that National Geographic had some nice ones. When you have finished cutting out your clippings, and your table is dry, you can start covering the whole table with decoupage. Now starts slappin' those suckers on there (probably not slapping, that might ruin it.) Once that has dried, put ANOTHER coat on top of the one you just did. Wait for that to dry for a couple of hours, and then, there you have it, your very own Decoupage Coffee table. I really hope you enjoyed making this, and if you didn't, thanks for trying anyway. Have fun!

DIY cute and easy photo heart collage

For this project you will need:

. 12+ Polaroid or Disposable Camera photos (i took mine with my 35mm Holga)
. Thumbtacks
. A wall

This project is super easy and super cute, too. First, take all of your photos and lay them on the ground how you want them on the wall ( It doesn't have to be a heart shape. It can be whatever you like. I just think the heart looks the best.) One by one, start to tack them onto the wall. It's that simple. Now, you are finished with your super cool, super cute, super easy DIY heart collage.

Disclaimer: This was not my idea. I sort of copied it from Macbarbie07.

DIY glitter candle jar

For this project you will need:

. An empty jar (Any kind of jar will work. I found this one at a garage sale.
. Glitter ( Any colors will do. I used silver, black and purple.)
. Mod Podge or Elmer's glue.
. A FAKE candle (a real one might be a fire hazard. i don't know.)
. One paint brush (any size will do.)

To start off, you will need to cover the INSIDE on the jar with glue. Use your paint brush for this. Make sure there is a decent amount in there. Wait 5 minutes or so to let the glue dry a little. Once your five minutes are up, take your glitter and sprinkle a whole lot in there. Make sure your entire inside of the jar is covered in glitter. Dump the excess onto a piece of paper and save it for something else. Let that dry for about an hour and voila! Your very own DIY candle jar. Mine came out a little wonky because, i used an old, hard paint brush. But, then again i'm only 12 years old and i'm not the most experienced DIYer in the world. I hope you have fun making this and enjoy the outcome.

DIY Mannequin Bracelet Holder and Bracelets

To start of this project, you will need a small mannequin. I found mine in a Project Runway kit. Once you have that, you will need to wiggle the "body" of the mannequin so that it becomes loose. You can now (hopefully) move the "body" down to the very bottom. you are now finished with the bracelet holder. For the bracelets, i just did some basic friendship bracelets and slid them on to the mannequin. And there you go, you have your own, personalized mannequin bracelet holder.
