Simple DIY Home Decor

hey guys welcome back to my channel

alright so today I'm testing out some

DIYs that I had been wanting to try out

from Pinterest I'm a huge Pinterest fan

and when I get time I like to try them

out and I usually film them so that it

makes an interesting video for my

channel today I'm trying out some home

DIY decor and everything's pretty

reasonable and pretty easy to do so I

wanted to share with you the first being

the DIY rope centerpiece which you can

get the plate for $4 at Michaels it's 4

for 3 plates so you can make a few of

these or you can just buy one into a

centerpiece and then the Rope is about

$6 per roll so with my hot glue gun I'm

just doing little hot glue game dots and

then I'm wrapping the Rope all the way

around till I fill up the entire plate

now this one was definitely the most

tedious out of all of them and I had to

take breaks and also Oliver was sitting

there watching me and we were like

singing songs and talking he always

likes to watch me do these anyway just

in case you were wondering what my kid

does when I'm doing these he's usually

just sitting there watching me or

somewhere close by so anyway this took

some time not too long but it took some

time but I loved how it turned out I

thought it was absolutely gorgeous and

you can find these types of things at

expensive stores but I thought it was

fun to make it myself and I was

surprised I didn't actually do as bad as

I thought I was gonna do so yeah this

was pretty easy and I really liked it as

a centerpiece I'm actually gonna put a

vase over that which leads me to my next

DIY which is the DIY metallic vases vase

vaz how do you say it base anyway I'm

taking two vases that I got at HomeGoods

you can get these for anywhere from 7 to

15 dollars I'm going to take some tape

basically in tape off an area so that

the paint doesn't get in that area so

it's like half and half

so that's what I'm going to do with the

first face the second phase I'm just

going to paint it completely and then

the metallic spray you can also get for

about 10 to 12 bucks and make sure that

you're far enough back if you get too

close it will definitely start to drip

and it won't dry as evenly so cover the

entire vase with spray paint and then

let it dry for about 4 to 5 hours okay

so once it dries it's time to take a

look at what it looks like now you can

do this with rose gold gold or metallic

like I did I thought it turned out

pretty nice I might try gold next time a

rose gold but yeah I thought it was

pretty and I just added hydrangeas into

both of these

I did love how the metalic looked over

the little rope centerpiece that I made

and I thought it was really simple and

classic so they were both really fun

DIYs that I was excited to try and I

thought they turned out pretty good plus

they're pretty easy so that helped too

next we're making a really fun DIY front

door mat so I got this mat at Walmart

for five bucks and I'm just adding some

rocks the rocks vary in price point you

can find them on sale at Michael's which

is usually when I wait to get things as

when it's on sale but usually they run

about six dollars per bag so I like to

wait for when they go on sale

I love rocks river rocks in my bathroom

to put my soap on top of and I thought

that this was a really good idea to put

shoes so that all the dirt and grime and

yuckiness comes off onto the rocks you

do have to kind of clean the rocks every

once in a while also if you have young

children it's not really small enough to

be a choking hazard but definitely

something they might throw or get into

so I try to remind my toddler not to

touch next we're doing a DIY no-sew

pillow case which really works for me

because I'm not much of a seamstress and

I started with steaming it a little bit

so it wasn't super wrinkly I probably

could have ironed it out a little bit

more but I just didn't I love this

because you can liven up a pillow that's

not like that cute which is this pillow

right there that's not that cute so I'm

gonna start by folding the fabric over I

got this fabric at Joanns fabric which I

would definitely recommend shopping

there when they have sales you can get

really good deals on fabric so I got the

seafoam fabric there for about thirteen

dollars and I had some leftover so I

didn't use it all for this pillow I

would have liked to spend a little bit

less than that so that's why it's good

to go when they have sales and then the

way that I'm folding it is very similar

to how I fold like Christmas gifts which

is I fold over once and then I fold over

again and then I'm just going to take

those two sides and tie them into a

little knot so I'm taking the little

extra pieces and again making it look

like a knot and just kind of tucking

everything nice and neat yeah I probably

should ironed it a little bit more but I

figured my son was gonna get into it and

make it wrinkly anyway but it added a

really pop nice pop of color to my couch

I think I think it looked really really

cute and I loved it so I was a big fan

of this one and it's really easy to make

so hopefully

enjoy this video I had a lot of fun
