If you're an avid DIYer, then I know you love the feeling when someone says to you, "OMG, you made that?!" It's probably one of the best parts about making something yourself.

Who doesn't love the appreciation in someone's voice when they say that?

So, whether you're making someone a gift or it's for yourself...

Let's do some DIYs that'll get everyone excited about what you've made. Let's get to it!

1. We all know I have a love for pom-poms, so it's no doubt that I need this pom-pom stool ASAP.

You can just reupholster a stool you already have, OR it looks like this one was made from a tire. How cool is that?!

And the final result is so stunning, it's hard to believe it's not from some fancy store!

A big shoutout to Blog Remobilia for coming up with this fantastic idea. I can't wait to give it a try myself!

2. When I was in college, a friend of mine made photo coasters for her sister's baby shower.

It's such a great gift and memento for someone you love! It's also really easy to create by using tiles and Modge Podge.

Just think of all the cute photos you have lying around and what great coasters they would make!

You can get cheap white ceramics at Ikea or even the dollar store! Then you can use ceramic markers and paint, or oil-based Sharpies!

House Of Jade Interiors had this beautiful shower curtain and wanted to utilize it better in the home.

So they created a frame from wood and mounted the shower curtain on it!

Then they hung it up on the wall. Large-scale art can be so pricey, and this is a great way to save big!

8. I love wandering through the craft wood section at arts stores. There is always a really interesting blank canvas to be found.

There is so much you can do with reclaimed or new wood, including a really handy sign for your laundry room.

We all know that washing machines and dryers eat up lone socks, but eventually they'll come back around.
