You feel comfortable with scissors and glue and maybe even a sewing machine, but it’s time to break out of your comfort zone and explore the great unknown (or at least the lesser-used supplies in your diy arsenal).
What do you say? Let’s crawl to the back of your closet and dust off those supplies you haven’t used in a while. It’s diy time! And this week it’s all about your modern home.
Here are your projects and the supplies you’ll need…
1. DIY Supply: house paint
(above) Turn a dingy planter into a diy project full of sunshine on Old Brand New.
2. DIY Supply: electric drill and drill bits
Create a modern birdhouse for your feathery friends.
3. DIY Supply: slow cooker (yep the one typically used for food)
Make your own set of dip-dyed candles from Martha Stewart.
4. DIY Supply: dremel tool
Bring plants indoors with a diy wall garden made of magnetic metal tins.
5. DIY Supply: glass etching cream
And finally, quench your thirst for design with this tutorial from Curbly to make your own Eames-inspired drinking glass.
What DIY supplies will you be dusting off this weekend?

Ooh! I’ll definitely try the glass! That should be simple enough for me to do while my babies nap. Thanks for the link!
