thermometer
pair of chopsticks or pencils

Wall Decor
Showcase a beautiful wall piece in your dining room or living room. Creating a rope mirror is cheap and simple, but looks like an intricate piece of art! You'll only need 1 spool of jute twine, 14 inch round mirror, Painter's tape, and nails. Follow this tutorial for a complete walkthrough of this project. You can also create mirror collages on a full wall by buying different types and sizes of mirrors. This gives the illusion of a designer home without the cost. Wall art can be a staple in any room and inexpensive if you DIY!
Centerpiece Vases
Typically, eyes are drawn to the center of the room. This tends to be a coffee table, dining room table, etc. when someone enters the room. Centerpieces are a great addition to any home to pull the entire area together. Vases are easy DIY projects for home decor crafts. One of the simplest vases to create is an artsy painted one. Choose paints in the colors you want and pour the paint inside of a clear vase. Tilt the vase back and forth to spread the paint around the interior. You can leave the lines uneven and create a wave effect if you want!
Personalized Embroidery
Embroidery is an easy craft to master with practice. It's a bit more complex than some other home projects because it's a skill built over time. However, it can be done to a variety of items! Embroidery can be done on pillows, clothes, wall decor, and most cloth items. You can hang pieces on your wall, decorate your couch pillows, and other items throughout your home. Here are some kits to give you the materials to get started!
