DIY room decor – hand-painted mandala stool
You will need:
Instructions:
First, wipe the surface of the stool with a damp cloth, ensuring that there are no stains, grease, or specs of dust. Then, draw several circles on top of the chair, using the compasses. We opted for 6, but you can add as many as you like. With a pencil, make a rough sketch of your mandala’s design on the stool. If you’re not sure how to get started, check out some of our DIY articles for inspiration and tips.
Once the design of your mandala has been finalized, start adding colors of your choice until the entire top surface of the tool is covered in paint. Then, leave it to dry overnight.
When the stool has dried completely, add details, using a white permanent marker. Leave aside for a few hours and then place in your favorite spot!
And to make things easier, here is a comprehensive step-by-step of the entire process:

Keep the summer in room all year round, with these adorable baskets, decorated like fruit!
Cute DIY baskets
What you will need:
Instructions:
Strawberry: Take the green felt and the scissors, and cut 4-5 tear drop leaf shapes. Using the glue gun, attach the shapes to the outer rim of the pastel pink basket. Next, cut out around 50 small, seed-shaped pieces of white felt. Stick them across the whole body of the basket, to make it look like a strawberry.
Pineapple: Using the scissors, cut out two shapes, resembling the crown of a pineapple, out of green felt – one smaller, and one slightly larger. Take the smaller one and stick it on the inside of the orange basket’s opening, near the rim. Try to stick the edges of the felt crown close to each other, so as to create a crease in the middle. Once done, attach the larger felt cutout behind the smaller one, using the glue gun.
Your fruit-inspired clothes baskets are ready! If you like, you can use baskets and felt in different colors, to create various types of fruit, such as watermelon, orange and more.
Easy, fast and very effective!
