#10.) Christmas Craft Ideas That Require Minimal Supplies (mostly!)

Looking for holiday DIYs that will elevate your home style this Christmas? These 10 Christmas Craft ideas are simple to make and most can be made with a limited number of supplies. Get your festive craft on with these easy, affordable craft ideas for your living room, dining room, kitchen, and more. Get a Pinterest-worthy look with these festive crafts (including links to over 25 BONUS holiday DIYs).

The words ‘crafting’ and ‘Christmas’ are virtually synonymous with many. But let’s face it, we don’t always have a lot of time for it. That’s why I wanted to share a post with projects that used a short list of supplies, yet still offered beautiful results for the holiday season. 

 

#9.)  How To Make An All-Season Wreath Base

Learn how to make a basic all-season wreath base using garland. It's the easy way to create a wreath that can take you through the seasons. Includes plenty of tips and alternative options for beginners.

As a fan of wreath-making, I’m always so pleased to know that others want to learn more about making a wreath at home. As wreaths become pricier and pricier, making one at home is always a great alternative, especially if you can re-use it each season with just a few small tweaks.

 

#8.)  Simple Hoop Wreath DIY

Learn how to make a simple, rustic hoop wreath diy in no time! Includes easy to follow instructions.

This was definitely one of the surprises on this list, at least for me. It was a bit of an experiment born out of trial and error. But I think one of the reasons it resonated so much was that it was an inexpensive approach to creating something minimal and elegant, too. 

 

#7.)  How To Install Basic Shelves With Brackets

Learn how to install basic shelves with brackets in this beginners tutorial. It's the perfect way to display practical and pretty decor that is easily accessible in your bathroom, hallway, entryway, living room, dining room, bedroom, and more! #howto #diyshelves #diyshelveswithbrackets

I love it when I can flex my DIY muscles (as small as they are) to share some very basic home projects that help elevate a space for very little. This installation of a couple of basic shelves was the perfect DIY to give our builder basic bathroom a bit of pizzazz.

 

#6.)  Chalk Painting An Old Metal Cabinet: Lessons Learned From A Beginner

Chalk painting a cabinet for the first time: Lessons from a beginner.

I never know if a beginner-level DIY – from a beginner, no less – will be of any value to readers, but this one seemed to resonate with many. There was definitely a learning curve for me and I was eager to share all that I had learned before and during the process. 

 

#5.)  How To Mix Wood Tones (Just Like A Pro)

An approachable take on how to mix wood tones in your home just like the pros do in this simple guide. Lots of tips and tricks to help take the mystery out of mixing old and new furniture and created for real life!

While it would be nice to hire a professional every time you had a design dilemma, it’s neither practical nor affordable. That’s why I wanted to share some of what I’d learned from my favourite designers and from experimenting at home over the years. We can all learn so much from one another as we try and live our lives more beautifully at home.

 

#4.)  DIY Leaf Vine Macrame Tutorial (Video Instruction)

Learn how to make this lovely DIY leaf vine macrame pattern. Great for beginner to intermediate level crafters. #diy #macrame

As a visual learner, I cannot think of a better way to learn the basics of macrame than through video instruction. This is the perfect beginner-intermediate lesson to add a little interest in your macrame designs.

 

#3.)  10 Weaving Tips for Faster, Easier & Better Frame Loom Weaving

My 10 best weaving tips to make frame loom weaving faster, easier, and better in the long run! #weaving #diy #tips

With all that’s out there about frame loom weaving, I’m always surprised to find very little exists about handling those ‘snags’ you inevitably encounter along the way. That’s why I wanted to share some basic tips for weavers at all levels, but especially for beginners. It’s information that I wish someone had shared with me when I first started!

#2.)  How To Organize A Linen Closet & Maximize Space

Tidy linen closet using fabric storage, wire baskets, and other space-saving ideas.

After neglecting our linen closet for years, I finally found a solution that I thought some of you might find helpful – and, clearly you did! Once you can declutter and organize any space – even a linen closet – it is far easier to manage and maintain than you might think.

 

#1.)   20 Amazon Home Must-Haves (at least we think so!)

These Amazon home must-haves are for those craving beauty & function at home. From DIY tools to storage ideas, cleaning supplies, gadgets & more!

Reaching the tippy-top of this list is this first-time round-up of my and hubby’s favourite Amazon home must-haves. These products offer a mix of functionality, convenience, and some beauty, too, but don’t often get featured on the blog. There’s something there for everyone (and I plan to share more of our favourites in the new year 🙂).


I hope you enjoyed reviewing the top 10 most-read posts of the year. I’m looking forward to sharing fresh content with all of you in the year ahead.

In the meantime, I want to wish you all a blessed and happy new year.
