Fancy making a few updates to your home but don\u2019t want to spend big bucks? Try these stylish and wallet-friendly DIY projects for instant satisfaction instead:<\/p>\n

  1. Cloud Cushions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you\u2019re new to sewing, a cushion is a great beginner\u2019s project. It doesn\u2019t require any specialist skills or tools, just a sewing machine (which can often be hired at your local haberdashery) and a little patience.<\/p>\n

    I love this cloud cushion; it adds a quirky touch to the living room or nursery. Make a handful of them in clashing prints for real impact. Check out the full how-to here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Wall-Mounted Side Table<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Test your woodworking skills with this minimalist wall-mounted side table<\/a>. Perfect for smaller homes, it\u2019s just big enough to hold the essentials and doesn\u2019t take up any floor space.<\/p>\n

      To make this project even easier, consider having your local DIY store cut the wood to the sizes you require. They will often do this for free, or a very small charge.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Painted Stairs<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you\u2019ve got the urge to freshen up your space with a lick of paint, consider trying something different. Like this project<\/a> which will add a whole lot of cool to your hallway.<\/p>\n

        I love it when people think outside the box, forgoing the walls and painting something unexpected instead.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Indoor Garden<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Cultivate something really beautiful with a small indoor garden. Terrariums are hugely fashionable at the moment, perhaps because they\u2019re just a little different. A potted houseplant is wonderful, but a whole word inside a glass jar is just magical. Click here<\/a> to find out how to make your own.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Moroccan Wedding Blanket Inspired Pendant<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            This beautifully textured lampshade is inspired by traditional Moroccan wedding blankets. Using a hot glue gun, a selection of haberdashery trimmings and a few metallic elements, you can create your own stunning shade. A full guide to creating this masterpiece can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
