My first project is a re-purposed picture frame which I spray painted in white. I simply added some backing paper, ribbon and sequins to the background of the frame and turned it into a vanity tray that now sits on my dressing table. It's quite nifty for organizing the accessories/ make-up that I plan on wearing the next day.
While I love the color of my phone cover, I thought it needed more personality. This came in the form of some lace and a few rhinestones scattered here and there. This way, it's unique and all glammed up without the need for spending too much :)
I just loved my Body Shop strawberry body butter so much, that I didn't have the heart to throw the container away when it was finished. Hence, I spruced it up a bit and made it a container for my bobby pins. And there's no arguing that it's eco-friendly ;)
I picked this innovative idea off YouTube. It's a canvas frame to which I glued some material with holes in it (no idea what it's called :S). Any clue what it is? It's an earring holder. Genius right?? Plus, it's a great gift idea.
This is yet another project straight from the video realm of YouTube. It's supposed to be a jewelry stand, but it can be simply used as a free-standing ornament. All I had to do was super glue two plates together with a candle stand in between and add some paper roses to the base. I adore the way the red stands out against the pastel colors of the plates.
Here's yet another stand (this time, with three tiers). I added a dessert cup to the top. All the items were white which was quite blah, so I spray painted them in this gorgeous mint green. The black ribbon and white and lavender paper roses contrast yet complement the green (it took me AGES to make the roses, but in the end, it was worth it).
This was originally a boring jewelry box which I recycled to make look like foiled metal. I topped it off with the leaves, which were a pair of earrings that I never wore, and a paper rose.
Aren't these erasers the cutest? Though their functionality is rather questionable :P However, their versatility came in handy and I converted them into embellishments for my empty jar. It currently has no use, so it's just sitting there looking pretty on my study table. Any suggestions as to what I could fill it up with?

I recycled another body butter tub and added fruity erasers to the lid to cutify it :) Okay, so the eggplant isn't a fruit, but whatever, it lends color to the whole arrangement :P
I hope to start more projects like these very soon :)
Happy DIYing!
