Nothing beats a DIY that’s both practical and pretty. A craft that has it all is hard to resist — especially for those of us who live and breathe DIY — and having someone admire your work and the fact that you made it yourself is the ultimate compliment.
Check out the collection of pretty project ideas below, and gain a bit of inspiration for your next crafting adventure!
1. Beachy Chandelier Makeover
Thanks to a bit of pretty paint and some creative elbow grease, what was once a dark, boring, outdated light fixture is now a chandelier fit for a mermaid queen.

Speaking of mermaid queens, these gorgeous seashell coasters are making me want to be a part of Ariel’s world! If you love admiring seashells on the beach, then you definitely need some of these coasters in your home.
3. DIY Crystal Photo Stands
Picture frames aren’t the only option when it comes to displaying your favorite photographs. If you’re looking for something a bit more flashy and fun, give these crystal stands a try.

Who wouldn’t want one of these in their home? Now, the tricky part isn’t making the sign , but figuring out how to actually get champagne when you press the button.
5. DIY Ombre Heart Crate
Sometimes all a piece needs is a small upgrade to take it from OK to fabulous! For those who don’t consider themselves seasoned crafters (yet), a project like this is a great place to start your creative journey.
6. Modernized Brass Chandelier
My grandmother’s brass chandelier has been sitting in our basement for about a year now, and after seeing how easy it would be to update , I think its days in storage are numbered.
7. DIY Cloches
Cloches are a quick and easy way to add a splash of pretty to any space. And while they may be expensive to buy at the store, they’re an extremely budget-friendly thing to DIY.
8. DIY Stacking Wire Bracelets
While it’s easy enough to buy inexpensive jewelry both online and in-store, there’s just something about making it yourself that results in pieces that are extra special.
9. Lantern Light Fixture
If you’ve ever shopped around for light fixtures , you know how ridiculously expensive they can be. Thankfully, DIYs like this prove that you can have the expensive, modern look you desire without the hefty price tag.

I think it would be pretty hard to not become the ultimate boss babe with this insanely gorgeous piece of artwork inspiring you to succeed every day! Everyone will be asking you to make one of these for them!
11. Pebble And Faux Succulent Wreath
While the shape of this wreath may be traditional, everything else about it is not, which is why I love it so much. Succulents for the win!
12. DIY Floral Mouse Pad
People don’t usually put a lot of thought into the mouse pad they’re using, but if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to make over your workspace , it’s a great place to start.

You can never go wrong with confetti! To make one of these fun accessories for yourself, you’re going to need some Mod Podge Dimensional Magic Glue , along with confetti (obviously) and a wooden tray.
14. Wood Bar + Bead Necklace
Jewelry doesn’t always have to be glitzy and covered with bright, shiny gems. This wood bar and bead necklace may be understated, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t pretty.
