This weekend I’m focusing on much-needed organization in my home workspace. If you follow along on Instagram stories you’ve probably already seen a few glimpses. That’s likely the only DIY I’ll manage to finish this weekend, but if you’re itching to make something creative in the coming days, I’ve rounded up a handful of projects you might enjoy.
Below are six DIY ideas I’m loving right now. Click the links for full instructions and materials.
1. DIY mid-century planters from Sugar and Cloth
2. DIY linen lavender eye pillows from Tidbits Cami
3. DIY monstera leaf pillow
4. DIY wooden half circle knobs from The Merrythought
5. DIY hidden ring bath bombs from Hello Glow
6. Modern DIY desk organizer
Each project is approachable and stylish, offering a mix of quick crafts and slightly more involved builds. The mid-century planters are perfect if you want to add a retro yet modern touch to your indoor plants—simple shaping, paint, and sealer create a clean, sculptural look. Linen lavender eye pillows make a lovely handmade gift or self-care item: minimal sewing, natural linen, and dried lavender combine for a soothing, elegant result.
The monstera leaf pillow is an easy way to bring botanical style to your sofa or bed; it works well with appliqué techniques or fabric paint for a bold graphic statement. Wooden half-circle knobs are a small update that instantly refreshes furniture—turning a plain dresser or cabinet into a custom piece with a few woodworking steps and a fresh finish.
Hidden ring bath bombs add a playful surprise to bath time and are great for gifting: basic bath-bomb ingredients are mixed with color and scent, molded around a small ring, and wrapped in fizzy fun. Finally, a modern DIY desk organizer helps keep your workspace tidy and tailored to your needs—combine simple materials like wood, concrete, or cardboard with thoughtful compartments to create a functional, attractive desk accessory.
Whether you want to refresh your home decor, create thoughtful gifts, or tidy your workspace, these projects offer a range of techniques and time commitments. I hope you find one that inspires you this weekend.
Have a happy weekend,
