1. DIY Floating Shelves
Floating shelves are a huge hit on Instagram due to their minimalist appeal. To create your own, you will need wooden boards, a drill, brackets, screws, and paint of your choice. First, cut the wood to your desired length and paint it. Once dry, attach the brackets to your wall and secure your shelves on top. Perfect for displaying your favorite books, plants, or trinkets, these shelves are a cost-effective way to add style to your space.
2. DIY Waterproof Disposable Camera
Capture your summer moments without worrying about water damage by creating your own waterproof disposable camera. Purchase a disposable camera and a clear, plastic, waterproof pouch (used for phones) that's slightly larger than your camera. Simply place the camera inside the pouch, ensuring that the lens aligns with the clear part of the pouch. Now, you're ready to capture those poolside moments and beach trips!
3. DIY Historical Mementos Display
Turn your found historical mementos into a conversation piece. Gather your mementos and purchase a shadow box or display case. Arrange your items in a way that tells a story, then secure them using adhesive or pins. Place the display in a prominent area in your home to provoke curiosity and conversations.
4. DIY Comic Art
If you love comics, turn your favorite ones into art pieces. All you need is a comic book, a canvas, and some Mod Podge. Cut out your favorite comic scenes and arrange them on your canvas. Once you're satisfied with your layout, use Mod Podge to secure the pieces and create a seal. Once dry, hang your comic art in your favorite space.
5. DIY Map, Chart, or Graph Art
If you're a fan of data visualization, turn your favorite maps, charts, or graphs into stunning wall art. Print your favorite visualizations on high-quality paper and purchase a frame that fits your design. Place the print in the frame and hang it in your office or study area. This is a unique way to display your love for information in a visually appealing way.
Conclusion
Creating Instagram-worthy DIY projects on a shoestring budget is possible with a bit of creativity and effort.
