By Melanie Blodgett |

I would like to try out one of these projects this weekend (did you know you can make your own skinny leather belt?) but I think my time will be occupied by giving birth. Oh well, you win some you lose some. Have a happy one and make something for me!

    This definitely fooled me into thinking it was an antique piece but really it's an IKEA hack.

  • Dipped Table

    Dipped Table

    I've probably walked past this IKEA table hundreds of times and never thought twice about it. Slap on a coat of paint and I want to go out and buy it now!

  • Fiesta Garland

    Just in time for Cinco de Mayo! Festive and cute.

    Take a ho-hum pot and kick it up a notch. Even if your plant is dead, it will look pretty.

    And I didn't think I could come across a type of garland I haven't seen.

    Flower Crown

    I have no idea what occasion would allow me to wear a flower crown but this is so pretty. Maybe a trip to the playground?

    These popper corsages would add some fun to your wedding.

    A cute monogram cup and some herbs would make a great teacher gift.

    After seeing this project I've become convinced I need to jump on the antler trend.

  • Plaster Letter

    Plaster Letter

    I like that you can customize this project to the exact size you want. I'm thinking of making a ginormous B.
