It’s all well and good to make something, but it’s even better when you make something and it looks so good that people assume that you bought it.
That’s what these DIYs are — handmade crafts and DIYs that look like a million bucks.
Take a look and let me know if you agree!
1. You could also create a cool pattern with trim.
Trim is cost effective and easy to work with.
You could easily create this look.
Also, don’t you just love the idea of painting your closet doors a fun color? I sure do!
2. Gone are the wreaths of the past.
In their place — modern wreaths like this one.
Jump on the succulent bandwagon and make this cool wreath.
3. I’m a sucker for all things rustic, so I just had to share this box.
Made from barn wood, this planter box is the perfect addition to any farmhouse or rustic style home.
Not too hard to make, either.
4. This pallet bench looks like a hard project, but it’s actually quite easy.
Especially when you have a great tutorial to follow.
5. I love a good knockoff.
The knockoff is even better when it comes with a free printable.
Save your money and fool your guests into thinking that you actually shop at Pottery Barn.
6. Framing your bathroom mirror can make a huge impact.
Something so simple can take your bathroom style up a notch .

Again, another great tutorial to walk you through, start to finish.
9. What’s better than rose gold?
Rose gold foil.
Pick some up for yourself and make this ultra-chic pencil holder.
Your desk is just begging for something chic.
10. Make sure no one picks up your keys by mistake.

These concrete cones will give you a great spot to place your rings.
Plus, they’re so trendy — it’ll look like you bought them from a high-end boutique or something.
13. Make your own dishware.
OK, so you aren’t actually going to make the plate, but you can fancy up a plain dollar store plate by drawing on it.
Use an oil-based permanent marker to create your design and then bake your plate in the oven at 300 for 40 minutes.
14. This is just so pretty.
Who wouldn’t want this in their house?
Count down the days with this beauty that you made yourself!
15. Slap your monogram on a tote bag.
But make sure you make it look like you paid big bucks for it!
This clever DIYer used a paper doily as a stencil and it looks great!
16. Ditch the traditional wreath and do a little something different for your door decor.
I love the idea of using a basket instead of a wreath form and you can get some really great spring accessories from the dollar store.
17. Skip the trip to Pottery Barn.
Make your own farmhouse style candle sticks that look like a million bucks.
I’ve seen a lot of these on Pinterest and this style is my favorite!
18. Stay organized with a DIY memo pad that also looks great.
Great for grocery lists and reminders!
19. Give some old books a DIY face lift.
This DIY doesn’t ruin the book at all — you can still read it and use it as a trendy piece of decor.

22. If your home is lacking a little personality maybe you should make some of these.
Take your own pics, print them and then clip them to your DIY photo clipboards.
23. I nearly fainted when I saw the price of cotton stems in the craft store.
I think it’s time that I made my own. Prodigal Pieces has a great tutorial that just requires branches and cotton balls.
Sounds good to me!
