If you're feeling nostalgic and want to bring back some of that '90s charm, this is the perfect DIY project guide for you. We've compiled a list of five projects that will give your home a touch of the '90s, from repurposing old CD racks to creating your own lava lamps.
1. DIY CD Rack Bookshelf
Remember when CDs were all the rage and we even had special racks for them? Now, with music going digital, these racks have become obsolete. However, you can repurpose them into a cool bookshelf. A quick coat of paint in a vibrant '90s color and this old CD rack becomes a retro-chic bookshelf.
2. DIY Lava Lamp
Nothing screams '90s like a lava lamp. All you need is a clear glass container, vegetable oil, food coloring, and an Alka-Seltzer tablet. Fill the container with oil, add water, a few drops of food coloring, and pop in the Alka-Seltzer. Voila! You have your homemade '90s-style lava lamp.
3. DIY Neon Light Sign
Neon signs were a big part of '90s decor. Create your own neon sign with EL wire and a piece of clear acrylic. Simply bend the wire to form your desired word or shape, attach it to the acrylic, and plug it in. This DIY neon light sign will surely bring a '90s vibe to your space.
4. DIY Cassette Tape Coffee Table
Cassettes are another symbol of the '90s. If you have a collection gathering dust, why not turn them into a retro coffee table? Glue the tapes together in a rectangular shape, add a glass top, and you have a unique coffee table that's a great conversation starter.
5. DIY Pop Art Wall Decor
Pop art was huge in the '90s. Create your own '90s-inspired pop art by printing out large photos of your favorite '90s icons, cutting them out, and gluing them onto colorful backgrounds. Frame these and hang them up for a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
