These are the twelve best room DIY's I have found so far. I have only tried a few, but can't wait until ai have the time to do the rest! When you're bored why not make your room look prettier by trying some of these DIY's. If you don't have any of these things you can find most at the dollar store.

1. Make a glass or acrylic calendar.

Glass and acrylic calendars are super pretty and it's a great way to keep yourself organized. Here's a link to see a step-by-step DIY glass calendar and an acrylic one, too!

2. Use mason jars as makeup brush holders.

Just take old mason jars and decorate them however you'd like. There are billions of ideas on Pinterest.

3. Decorate a mirror

My favorite one is the flowered ones, but there are many other cool ideas as well. You can do these with body mirrors too.

4. Upcycle an old bookcase.

You can easily repaint the whole thing and add wallpaper or chalk paint to the backboard.

5. Light up headboard.

8. Jewelry holder

You can put them in frames with decorated wallpaper or in shadow boxes.

9. Upgrade your light switch cover

Putting little frames around them is also a very cool way to do this. You can do the same thing to your electrical plug covers too.

10. Polaroid coasters
