Inventions always come from needs. Sometimes you want something that can make your life more convenient, but you can’t buy it on the market. Or you have a better idea than what is available on the market. Then you can do it yourself. Doing it is more effective than buying ready-made items, and inventions don’t necessarily have to be great creations. Instead, they come from easily available items around you. Good Housekeeping has compiled 11 smart home DIY plans. I also want to make that dinosaur toilet paper roll. Make one!
1. Wine glass holder
Dig a round hole in the middle of the wooden board, and dig out straight lines at the four corners (or more), and it becomes a cup holder that can be used to place wine glasses. You can also carry it with a wine bottle, which is so convenient.
2. Use hanging cloth to draw a fireplace
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a fireplace at home, just draw one yourself.
3. Suitcase becomes table
Transform an old suitcase into a table that can be opened to store items.
4. Industrial style wine cabinet
Use a combination of wood and nails to create an open wine cabinet with an industrial style.
5. Bird feed basin
Don’t throw away the finished wine bottle. After loading the feed, place it upside down. The feed will be automatically poured out based on the remaining height. You can place it in the yard or balcony to replenish the energy of passing birds.
6. Book jewelry box
Hollow out old books and fix them with adhesive to create a retro-style jewelry box.
7. Plant stand
Nail the wooden boards into the shape of a small pallet and hang it on the wall to create a country-style plant rack, which is perfect for placing pineapples.
8. Toilet paper roll
Spray paint the dinosaur toy and give it a new color. Its long neck can just be used to put toilet paper. This is so simple and cute, and it is worth trying.
9. The second life of the tea can
I can’t bear to throw away the cute tea can, but I don’t know what to do with it? Make candles!
10. The spice jar stuck on the refrigerator
Empty glass jars of baby food can be turned into spice jars that can be attached to the refrigerator by adding magnets to the caps. The name of the spices is written on the bottom of the bottle to make it easier to take and use.
11. Plants’ new home
The square sail arrangement bag hung on the wall can be used indoors. When taken outdoors, a potted plant can be placed in one box. It looks like a professional greenhouse, so cute.
