Resisting the urge to not deck out our dwellings with some fancy new furniture and exxy decorations is a pretty hard thing to beat, but we reckon it's time to put our wallets down and instead rely on something a lot cheaper: crafty skills. Get started on some fun and easy DIYs to make our abodes look a tad snazzier (without breaking the bank) by spying our picks for fun and easy projects below. 

JAZZ UP SOME CANDLES It's a pretty known fact that simply adding a few candles anywhere instantly makes a space 100% fancier (although we recommend not lighting them all at once). White candles are nice and all, but we reckon these pressed flower candles made by Michele Baratta are so much lovelier. Peep how she made these by checking out her tutorial. 

A PLACE FOR YOUR TRINKETS If you're like us, we can safely bet that you folk have an endless supply of knick-knacks, figurines, loose gemstones, Kinder Surprise toys and other teeny decor in every corner of your spaces. Store a safe and a cute place for these trinkets with an equally adorable tray, like the one made by Crockd below. 

CREATE CUTE CAFE CURTAINS Got any old tea towels or fabric gathering dust and a window that needs some cover? You can kill two birds with one stone by creating these no-sew cafe curtains, which will give you some more privacy (without losing any sun rays or people-watching). Check out this tutorial to make some yourself, cooked up by Open Doors Open Hearts.

GIVE YOUR CROCKERY SOME INK We're all lovers of tattoos here at frankie, so when Admist The Chaos' temporary tattoo on dishware DIY popped up on our screens we just knew we had to give this a crack. Take a gander at the full tutorial on how to get your mugs and plates to look that tad bit cooler. 

ADD SOME COLOUR TO GLASSES There's nothing more that we love than a good clear vessel to hold our favourite liquids (AKA glass cups), but even we have to admit that these transparent objects aren't always the most exciting to look at. Enter, Our Upcycled Life, who have the perfect remedy for any of your glass cup woes. Find out how you can add more colour to your lives by watching the tutorial here.
