Here are five simple and fun DIY home decor projects you can add to your list:
Mason Jar Projects
The mason jar trend has yet to go away, and that is perfectly fine with us! There are so many great projects you can do with mason jars -- canning, candles, and candy jars -- and those are just ideas starting with the letter C! We love this idea from Skinny Meg of using mason jars for bathroom organizers! Find a wooden pallet stained to your preference, some pipe fittings and mason jars … put them together and you have a rustic chic bathroom organizer. Be sure to check out her blog post for directions on how to create this masterpiece.
Painting Projects
The easiest way to add your personal touch to any home decor project is with a fresh coat of paint. Whether you choose the color of the year, your favorite color, or a nice neutral color, you will love the instant change with a fresh coat of paint. One simple way to have fun with a painting project is to paint an accent table a vibrant color to change a hidden piece into the new focal point.

Door Wreaths
Door wreaths aren’t just for Christmas Decor, your door needs some decor love all year round! This spring and summer the perfect and easy DIY project is making a flowery wreath for your front door.

The next step requires a little sewing know-how! For more detailed directions on making your perfect accept pillow, follow these steps.

The items you will need for this project are a candle, glass vase big enough for the selected candle, and decorative fillers.
