Do-it-Yourself projects (DIYs) are a huge trend right now\u00a0for many reasons. These are the projects you don\u2019t need a natural talent for craftiness, or professional skills, to perfect. With a quick online search, you\u2019ll be amazed what you can make out of the old belongings laying around your home. Here are some of the top foolproof DIYs for 2016 that can thoroughly enhance the interior of your home\u00a0while putting something old to good use.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Foolproof<\/p>\n

1. Use a Paint Pen in Your Kitchen<\/h3>\n

Paint pens are one of the coolest things out there for foolproof DIYs. They\u2019re also incredibly inexpensive and super simple to use. You can use one to write elegant cursive or add unique designs on your mugs, keeping paint away from any part of the surface your mouth might touch; once you design the mug, you just need to bake it for 40 minutes at 375 degrees. You can do the same on your dining set or teapot and even wine glasses. Before you know it, you\u2019ll have a dose of individuality added to your kitchen with little effort.<\/p>\n

\"Foolproof2. Organize the Clutter<\/h3>\n

If you are trying to declutter or enhance the aesthetics in your office, one easy solution involves straw or glass canisters. Grab a plastic straw canister, or a cute glass, and fill it with the materials that seem to be cluttering your open space, such as pens and other office supplies, your kids\u2019 craft materials, or even hair ties and bobby pins. Not only will this organize these items into one spot, but the simple setup will also look great in the room!<\/p>\n

\"Foolproof3. Enhance the Mantel<\/h3>\n

When in need of a little pick-me-up within your home d\u00e9cor, your fireplace mantel can be an excellent place to start. With this d\u00e9cor tweak that is quick and fairly effortless, emphasize the mantel with strategically placed mirrors to reflect light and increase the appearance of the room\u2019s size. A new foolproof DIY that is a popular trend is using empty picture frames of all shapes and sizes to hang over the mantel. This is an easy way to add dimension and style to your overall look, without cluttering the space!<\/p>\n

\"Foolproof4. Make Your Own Wine Rack<\/h3>\n

Purchasing a wine rack can be costly, but you don\u2019t need to spend a fortune to be able to display your wine expertise or love. Start saving your empty large cans (like the kind used for coffee grounds, or crushed tomatoes), and wash them out thoroughly. Slice off the tops and bottoms, then spray paint with a color of your choice. Next, glue the cans together in a pyramid shape (or another style that will hold). Add your wine, and you officially have your very own, homemade and personalized wine rack!<\/p>\n

\"Foolproof5. Repurpose Your Wedding Photos<\/h3>\n

Repurposing your wedding photos is an excellent way to decrease the clutter, while still displaying things you love. Instead of placing photos of your wedding in frames, place them throughout your home, using them in your calendar and even on large magnets for your fridge. Transform the photos into garland or turn them into a displayable photo strip. You can also do this with any type of special photo memory you\u2019d like to celebrate: birthdays, graduations, milestones, and so on. These simple DIY ideas will help you to rid yourself of the clunk and clutter of frames while still celebrating your most special moments.<\/p>\n
