Decorate a Pillow Case
Whether you have throw pillows with removable cases or you want to spruce up your bed, you can add a quote to the fabric. Write something as simple as “Love” or as elaborate as your favorite saying.
Simply remove the pillow case (or buy a new one) and get these items:
- Letter stencils
- A pencil
- A fabric marker
Use your pencil to trace the letters onto your pillow case. Double-check your work to ensure it’s evenly spaced, and redo letters as needed. Once you’re totally satisfied, use the fabric marker to fill in letters.
Dress Up Your Bookshelf
Your bookshelves may look nice now, but you can improve their aesthetics without buying anything– now that’s my kind of weekend project! All you have to do is rearrange your books based on color.
Look at the covers or spines of your books, placing them in piles– pink in one and green in another, you get the idea. Then, put them back on your shelf by color. You can make a rainbow spectrum, or pick one or two colors to include on your shelf (color blocking is always hot).
If you have leftover books that don’t quite fit the look, get fabric boxes to put on the bottom of your shelf and store the books inside– the boxes can match the look you’re going for and keep your books together.
A few days are all you need to complete these DIY weekend projects. In no time, your apartment will be fresh and ready for spring.
