3 neat DIY ideas

I must admit, I'm really not much of a DIY-er - although I wish I was.  I did once make a wall decor piece out of sliced up toilet paper rolls, but that was the extent of it, unless you consider filling an old mason jar with seashells topped of with a tea light to be DIY worthy ;)

But seriously, I think DIY-ing is a wonderful way to add personal touches to your space.  Usually these ideas involve reusing, salvaging and some creative thinking - all of which I believe are good skills to practice.  Plus, the personal satisfaction you get from creating something on your own is priceless.  I will try to be more of a DIY-er in the future.  Until then, I am collecting some cool ideas I may like to try one day. But that doesn't mean you can't try them right now.  Let me know if you do, or if these ideas inspire you ;)
