Ideas for Empty Spaces/Corners

Convert empty spaces/corners into something fun and useful.
For instance, if you are dreaming of having your own walk-in closet, you don't have to utilize a big area or even a room for it. And especially if you have a tiny place, make an awkward space in your room into an open closet wherein you can finally decorate your clothes, handbags, shoes and accessories.

An enjoyable Do-It-Yourself activity and you don't have to spend a lot of money. You can even reuse old cabinets from the storage; recycle shabby furniture and paint them with rustic or vibrant colors; or simply purchase a cheap bookshelf from IKEA.

Last year, I turned a dead space at our apartment in Saigon into a corner closet. And for about $100 US, I was able to conveniently display my favorite or most-used accessories, bags and shoes. Definitely an accessible and tidy way without digging through my whole closet.

All You Need:
Shelf
Rack
Small Carpet/Rag
Screws
Hooks
Screw Gun

Mini Perfume Pendants

Since I have a few those of mini perfumes as freebies from cosmetic shops and duty-free, I decided to make something out of the cute little bottles. Some of the mini perfumes can actually be made as pendants.

All you need:
* a string of any color/design you like!
* glue
* scissors

Here are some of the mini perfumes I made into cute necklaces.

Craft Ideas: Candle Jar Holder

I was thinking of redecorating the balcony garden of our apartment in Saigon. I have so many ideas in mind but I am more considering of redecorating it with recycled materials. I found some really good ideas online, putting candles in the balcony to make it more cozy at night. So I thought, why not use Peanut Butter or Jam jars as Candle Holders instead.

Materials Needed:
Bottle, Jars
Dried Flowers
String
Old Scarves
Glue

You can decorate according to your preference or whatever style you want! You can use other materials like glitter, gemstones, potpourri, newspaper, buttons, etc.

The Materials. Decorate according to your preference or what you like!

Tie some string on the top part of the jar then glue the dried flower on the jar.

Let it dry for 15 minutes.

Here it is, decorated at my balcony table! Can't wait to light the candles tonight!
