The post How To Make Your Walls Look Uniquely Awesome appeared first on CheerCrank.

1. Glitter eggs

Bright, fun colours are definitely a key part of both springtime and Easter decor, but are you the kind of flashy styled person who likes to take things even further when it comes to anything visual? Then we think perhaps you’ll fall just as hard in love with this egg decorating idea from BHG as we did. The concept is simple: cover the entire egg in coloured glitter for maximum sparkle power!

2. Sprinkle eggs

Do you love the idea of covering your Easter egg in something a little bit unconventional and textured but you’d rather not cover your entire home in glitter trying to make them sparkle just right? Then Studio DIY suggests using sprinkles instead! Yes, you read that correctly; the same colourful sprinkles that you’d spatter across the top of a cupcake make an awesome Easter egg craft.

3. Glow in the dark eggs

Are your kids going through an awesome space or dinosaur phase where they’re obsessed with the idea of other-worldly creatures hatching from eggs rather than cute little animals like baby chicks? Then get them really interested in your Easter crafts by helping them make awesome glow in the dark eggs instead! The process is similar to your classic egg dying technique and Growing a Jeweled Rose is here to guide you through it.

4. Painted eggs

Maybe you’re the kind of patient and artistic person who prefers to paint things by hand and create your own colour combinations and designs with a little more control? Well, no one says you can’t just straight up paint the shells of your Easter eggs, so go ahead and give it a try! We love the pastel colour palette Paper n’ Stitch stuck to while painting theirs.

5. Gold foil silhouette egg

Have you always been a big fan of things that look like liquid cold? If you ask us, the more metallic, the better! It can be hard to get that true gold look with things like gold paint because they often dry more matte than you’d like to see. That’s why Babble suggests using gold foil instead! Their tutorial shows you all the steps you’ll need for affixing the foil to the surface of your Easter egg’s shell.

6.  Intricate black and white eggs

Have you ever used the wax crayon method for drawing sayings and designs on your Easter eggs before you due them? That’s kind of a similar process to how these gorgeously and intricately patterned black and white eggs featured on Only But a Glimpse were created! Using white or clear wax stops the dye or paint from clinging to certain parts of the shell and that’s where your pretty patterns will come from.

7. Washi tape eggs

Are you looking for a way to decorate eggs with your family that’s not only quick and easy but also close to mess free? Then put down the dyes and paints for now and instead grab some brightly coloured or patterned washi tape and some scissors! Lovely Indeed suggests cutting the tape into geometric pieces and sticking them onto your egg’s shell to create all kinds of fun designs!

8. Ombre dyed eggs

Perhaps you’d actually like to use the classic Easter egg dying method but you’re just looking for a colour combination or design to do that’s a little more stylish or unconventional than what you’ve done in previous years? Then try playing with the intensity of your dye to get lighter and darker tones of the same shade! We love this pink ombre created by Sugar and Charm and you’ll be surprised by how easy the effect is to recreate.

9. Doily stencil eggs

Do you love the idea of creating intricate patterns on your Easter eggs like we talked about above but you’re not confident in your ability to make small enough details with the wax or crayon? Then try this doily stencil method from Urban Comfort instead! Dye your eggs a subtle shade first and then place a paper doily against the shell and painted over it so the negative space in the lace pattern creates pretty dotted designs on the shell instead!

10. Golden marbled eggs

Did you love the idea of using shining gold to design a very chic Easter egg but you’re not sure you’re quite ready to try the foil method? Then metallic paint is still a fantastic option, especially if you follow this awesome tutorial on She Knows. Rather than simply painting the entire eggs gold or even sponging the paint on, they suggest dying each egg a different shade and then applying the paint in a marbled effect on top for accent.

11. Botanical stencil eggs

Perhaps the idea that’s stuck out to you the most so far is the stenciling idea but lace is a little too fancy for your tastes? Try creating a stencil around a shape instead! We’re absolutely in love with the way this Martha Stewart tutorial suggests sticking a small leaf or plant to the surface of the egg shell and painting or dying around it so that when you peel the leaf off, its silhouette is left amidst the colour in a crisp, lovely white. This idea is particularly perfect for welcoming spring into your home!

12. Geometric design eggs

We already talked about a few different methods for creating different lined and geometric shaped designs on the shells of your Easter eggs, but this one might be the most fun. Use strips of tape in different thicknesses to mark off certain woven patterns across your egg and then dip the egg into different coloured dyes. Once the egg is dry, peel the tape off and check out the awesome stripes you’ve created! See the technique in more detail on Indiefixx.

13. Subway art eggs

Have you every seen the creative fonts and lettering that advertisements, posters, and subway signs use when you take your city’s train? Well, Lil’ Luna is here to show you how to harness the kitschy pop culture look of those signs onto your Easter eggs! Use the same silhouetted stencil technique as the botanical eggs we talked about above, but this time with creatively shaped letter stickers. The message you stick down will appear in white within the coloured dye when you peel the stickers off!

14. Flower and ribbon eggs

Perhaps you’ve already dyed your eggs but now you’ve decided that they still need a little something to make them even fancier than they already are? Then grab some cute spring flowers and some ribbons in different colours and styles and dress your eggs up! BHG shows you exactly how to create an Easter egg design that’s a perfect blend with a cute springtime decor aesthetic.

15. Glitter dot eggs

Are you still thinking about the awesome glitter eggs we talked about at the very beginning of this post but you’re not sure you actually have enough glitter to sparkle the entire eggs? Then just do sections of them instead! We love the way A Pumpkin and A Princess created simple glittery polka dots in different colours all over their eggs. You could even make rainbow eggs by making each dot on a single egg a different colour!

2. Empty sewing spool

Ette Studios reminds you that the long tailing cord of a set of earbud headphones coils up neatly and safely just like a length of thread would. With that in mind, grab an empty spool (you could even use a vintage one for some extra style, if you can find one), thread the end through the centre so the earbuds rest contained on the top of the spool, and wrap the cord around the whole thing like a piece of thread. This idea is also nice and compact!

3. Painted mint tins

Would you rather keep your earbuds contained so they’re out of the way completely and not unraveling in your pocket or purse if the end comes loose? A small, emptied mint tin is a great storage alternative! You might even want to grab some all surface paint and doodle or stencil a simple headphone image onto the top, just like DIY Not did here.

4. Wood and bungee cord organizer

Brit + Co. has a headphone storage solution that’s actually useful for all of your other corded electronics as well, including hone and laptop chargers! Fasten an elastic bungee cord to each of a rectangular length of wood. Fasten the wooden base to the wall like a coat rack and use the bungee cord to slide your headphones and other cords over and around so they hang on it, but are held in place by its elasticity.

5. Glued clothespins

Oh So Organized has an earbud storage solution that will probably cost you under a dollar, if anything! Find two wooden clothes pins and glue them together with their handles and heads facing opposite ways to each other. Clip the earbuds at the neck into one of the clothes pins and then wrap the cord around the space in both tails, clipping the end off in the other clothespin to keep it all in place. If you’re feeling fancy, add some dots or another pattern along the backs of the clothespins in sharpie or paint!

6. Cut credit card earbud holder

Apartment Therapy‘s visa card embroidery floss card idea can take care of two things at once for you! You’ll repurpose an old card that you’re no longer using so that the plastic doesn’t get thrown away, but you’ll also create a compact, tangle free way to keep your earbuds contained. Check out the tutorial to see where convenient cuts are made in order to keep the buds and the ends from unraveling and getting tangled.

7. Repurposed tape dispenser

Life Hacker has a quirky solution that you might not have thought of until now, and it’s another easy upcycle as well! Instead of throwing out the empty dispenser next time you finish a roll of tape, hang onto it for storing your earbuds. The rounded part where the tape used to wrap is the part where your cord will wrap now instead!

8. Crochet “snitch” headphone ball

Are you an avid crochet enthusiast who will stitch yourself a DIY solution at any chance you can get? Are you also a passionate Harry Potter fan? Then we think we’ve found the absolute perfect project for you! Asian Freckles

9. Lego Technics headphone stand

Were you obsessed with Lego, Lego Technics, and other similar toys when you were young? Have you always loved building unique things and solving problems in a technical way? Take a leaf out of Brickshelf‘s book and dig out your old Lego Technics toys to build yourself a standing storage unit that will your large headphones up off the ground and even make sure the cord doesn’t get wrapped around things.

10. Headphone Q-Tip case

Enchanted Yankee suggests using an empty travel Q-Tip case to keep your earbuds contained and untangled. we love the little headphone stencil they’ve painted on the top of the case, just to make sure people know what it’s for so it doesn’t get thrown out!

11. Duct tape earbud case

Do you love creating new things with duct tape, one of the DIY world’s most diverse tools? We’re completely crazy about this hilarious Super Mario themed duct tape earbud pouch. It’s got a Velcro flap to make sure things stay where they should and a keyring hand so you can attach the pouch to your lanyard and never lose your headphones! Find out how to make it in detail on Pepper Scraps!

12. Folding snap earbud case

Would you rather something chic, simple, and effective than fancy or novelty? This snapping leather wrap idea from Designer Trapped is exactly what you need! It’ll keep things contained without taking up a lot of space in your bag.

13. Key chain mint case holder

Make It, Love Itnsuggests reusing a rounded mint case to store your earbuds, and we’re pretty big fans of the idea! Their tutorial shows you how to attach a keyring so you can clip it to your purse, as well as how to replace the mint label with a cute patterned sticker or some scrapbook paper.

14. Circle zip earbud pouch

Are you a pretty decent sewing enthusiast with the knowledge to handle zippers and small loops? This little earbud storage pouch is basically the perfect tangle solution providing you can do all of the things required to make it! Choose any cute colour or graphic pattern you’d like when you make yours, then visit Dog Under My Desk for the pattern.

15. Wine cork earbud organizer

First for Women has one of the simplest earbud solutions we’ve ever seen, and we’re so happy to have learned about it! All you need is a single wine cork. Cut a hole in the bottom of the cork to hold the plug end in place after you’ve carefully wrapped the cord all the way around the cork, crossing over neck of the buds to keep them from unraveling too.

1. Rustic attic desk space

Live Well Network suggests adding a comfy rug, a clean desk, and some chairs to a small attic space to create a versatile desk space. Make sure it’s well lit and add some organizational tools like book shelves and black or white boards for note making. Use it for work or make it a quiet place for kids to do homework!
2. Well lit attic office

If your attic has a skylight or big windows, try creating a well lit office space just like this one by HSS. The sunshine will help you concentrate, especially if you keep the space as clean as it is bright.
3. Attic hammock bed

This giant hammock bed idea, featured on Best DIY Decor, is the perfect recipe for some rest and relaxation. If you’re handy around the house and feel safe anchoring the hammock into the ceiling yourself, then this is the DIY project for you! The hammock might not be the kind of bed you need for an actual extra bedroom, but it’ll certainly make a cozy, quiet place.
4. Games room

Sometimes it’s great to have a space meant specifically for hosting guests! Whether you’re hosting the weekly party to watch the game or having friends over to play board games, building a games room dedicated to entertainment is the perfect way to use extra attic space. You can even get fun with decor like DIY Network did without detracting from the aesthetic in the rest of your house.
5. Children’s bunk room

If your attic space has very short ceilings then it’s perfect for a children’s room! Take Home Portfolio‘s advice and fit a few small beds, sofas, or bunks in so kids can use the space for slumber parties. Little kids are much less likely to bump their heads on low ceilings!
6. Comfy TV room

This comfy TV room by DIY Network shows you how easily a small attic space can turn into a cozy room for TV marathons or family movie night. Find a squishy couch, a good TV stand, and a soft rug and decorate the rest however you please!
7. Rustic extra bedroom

Particularly if you live in an old house with large wooden beams, a peaked roof in the attic makes the perfect space for a beautiful, minimalist, and rustic style extra bedroom. Make sure there are lots of blankets and a cozy chair to sit in, just like in this room on Home Edit.
8. Light, quiet room

Sometimes a home needs a quiet space that’s free from electronics like TVs and computers. Attics rooms are the perfect space for that, especially if they’re bright with good windows! Find a comfy chair and a small bunk and lay out magazines, books, and musical instruments, just like this design from Apartment Therapy.
9. Attic shelving and storage

Most people’s attics aren’t visited by guests very often, which makes them the perfect place for rooms that might get messy. Home Talk created this adorable Lego storage room with lots of shelving and tub storage to store toys and Lego pieces, but you could copy this idea to create a crafting room or play room instead!
10. Walk in closet room

Is your regular closet over flowing with clothes and shoes? Does your house have a lot less closet space than what you wish you had? Then it’s definitely time to repurpose your unused attic space into a luxurious closet, just like Miss Royally Tainted Beauty did!
11. Low children’s bunk room

We’ve already talked about how low ceilings make attic bedrooms great for kids, so why not make it part of the appeal so they can have fun with it? Try a design like this one by Home Portfolio where all the furniture stays low to the ground, right at kid level.
12. Sewing room

If you’re a sewing enthusiast then you know how much of a mess making garments from scratch can make! Transforming the attic into a sewing room, rather than a room near the main traffic area in your house, keeps that mess out of the way and gives you a private area to work in. We love this attic room with lots of desk space on DIY Network.
13. Attic reading nook

If your attic room is small enough that a bed doesn’t fit comfortably in it, hope isn’t lost for creating a cozy space. Instead of a bed, try building a window seat with lots of shelving for books, just like this reading nook from Pinterest.
14. Attic “tree house”

Very small attic spaces are better for novelty sleeping spaces than full on guest bedrooms. We love this idea from Homeozoic for creating a little snoozing, reading, or hangout space that teens will love. Hanging lanterns and bean bag chairs make it feel like a hideout or private tree house.
15. Pool room

If your attic area has a wide floor space, measure it out to see if a pool or billiards table will fit in the centre and still leave space for some seating around it! This space featured on Decoist makes the perfect space for hosting out of the way of your busy main rooms.

Do you know someone who’s been thinking about transforming their unused attic space? Share this post with them for a little bit of decor inspiration!

What better way than to give your home a cozy touch with some of these fabulous ideas and tutorials? We have found some of the best ways to add comfort to your house without breaking the bank.

Cozy Nook – Creating a reading nook is a great way to add to the cozy factor of your house. Nothing is better than curling up with a hot drink and a good book while the weather outside is frightful

Blankets – Who doesn’t love warm blankets to curl up in? Having lots of blankets around is a great way to add coziness to a home. Thick textures and knits are another good way – so why not combine the two? This tutorial for a thick, arm-knit blanket is a great start!

Floor Pillows – Pillows are an excellent way to add comfort! These floor pillows are great for sleep overs for just to watch a movie. The tutorial is easy to follow and you can customize them to fit your decor.

Sweater Pillows – Following the pillow trend, repurposing old sweaters as pillow cases is a great way to bring coziness to a whole new level! This tutorial even shows you how to avoid wiggly seams when trying to sew something as stretchy as a knit.

Knick Knacks – Putting knick knacks out on display is a great way to make a home feel personalized and lived in. This old letterpress drawer makes a great display case for all of these little travel knick knacks!

Candles – Nothing warms up a house the glow of candles! This easy to follow how-to lets you create these adorable tea cup candles. Use them around the house or give them away as gifts.

Lamps – Lamps are much more cozy when it comes to lighting a room. This great tutorial shows you how to make a lamp out of almost anything to fit any style of decor!

Curtains – Curtains can instantly add coziness to a room, but why not mix up the look with some fun details? Basket weaving curtains is one such fun example!

Plants – Including plants in your decor not only cozies up the space but it also is a great way to bring in “fresh air” when you have to keep the house closed up for cold weather.

Rugs – Rug in general are great, but layering rugs make a good thing even better! This how-to helps you make the best choices when it comes to layer rugs and picking textures and patterns that go together.

String Lights – Nothing creates a cozy, whimsical space like string lights! Hang some up around you home to create a magical wonderland of delights!

Cozy Chairs – Redesign some chairs with a simple faux fur cover to make them comfy and cozy. This tutorial is pretty easy and customizable; creating some super adorable chair covers!

Doily Bowls – Use some old doilies to make these lovely little bowls to catch keys and other necessities. The directions are easy to follow and even show you how to dye the doilies to personalize them. Little touches like this make a home feel welcoming.

Headboard – Nothing says cozy like a soft, tufted headboard! This tutorial is a great place to start when learning how to tuft and can help to create a cozier, welcoming bedroom space.

Bedroom Seating – Putting a small seating area in the bedroom can create a nice cozy spot to relax or read. Include a blanket and some pillows with a nice lamp to make a comfortable corner.

Books – The best way to make a home feel cozy is to include books! Books give personality to a room and even just a small bookshelf can do the job.

2. Flowers and Plants

Why not bring your love for gardening to bear on your insects pests? Through strategic planning, your own yard could yield enough repellent to drive wasps away. That’s doing it with utility and style.

3. Fool Them By Building Hives

If you can’t beat them, join them, right? In this case, instead of joining them, we fool them, building replicas of nests which range from simple to beautifully complex. The lesson is, sometimes it’s easier to fool a foe than to beat him over the head.

4. Quick, cheap repellant

Planning ahead is great and all, but it does you no good when you fail to actually do it. No need to worry, though, as there is a way to repel wasps with ease using something you might already have in your fridge or garden.

5. Block Entrances

Wasps nesting in the ground are a whole other problem. But, your outlook will improve when you learn there is a rather simple remedy.

6. Make your own trap

7. Homemade Wasp Trap

Again, sometimes drastic times require drastic measures. Unfortunately, that means there is going to be some collateral damage. Make up for it by planting a bush that sustains a threatened bird, or build a bat house (they are great at eating bugs!).
