Happy Friday! I’ve been focused on work all week, so I’m really looking forward to a couple of days off with Jeff and Hayes. I might tackle a creative project—maybe I will, maybe I won’t—but either way I put together a short list of weekend DIYs to try. One of them is an entire greenhouse, which sounds ambitious but incredible (it’s number 4 on the list) and I’d love one in my backyard. Anyone up for building that for me?
If you don’t have the time for a full greenhouse, the rest of the projects are smaller and more manageable—everything from hair accessories to budget-friendly curtain rods. Whether you have just a few hours or a whole weekend, there’s something here to inspire a little creativity. Click through to the original tutorials for step-by-step instructions on each project.
Try these six DIYs this weekend:
1. How to make a budget-friendly curtain rod (costs less than $10 to make).
2. DIY clay hair clips from The House that Lars Built—easy, trendy accessories you can customize.
3. How to paint on glass—perfect for personalizing vases, glassware, and decorative pieces.
4. How to build a greenhouse—an ambitious weekend project that yields a beautiful, functional structure for growing plants.
5. Minimal DIY wall hanging—simple, affordable, and ideal for eucalyptus or other dried botanicals (under $15 to make).
6. DIY waxed balloon vessels—delicate, filigree-style candle holders made from leftover wax and balloons.
Wishing you a restful and creative weekend.
