Thanks to Mandi Gubler of Vintage Revivals, you can forge a wall-mounted and self-watering plant wall at home, with nothing more than wood, glue, and some cool jumbo-sized glass test tubes.

3. Faux Earthenware Planter
The only thing better than a good-looking planter is one that you make yourself. This goofproof DIY from Cupcakes and Cashmere shows us how to turn a humdrum terracotta pot into a chic earthenware-style planter by simply splattering it with acrylic paint. Stick with a black and white paint palette to keep things classic, or switch it up with some brighter hues to score a statement planter.

4. Hand-dyed Indigo Shibori Towels
Never mind that the Japanese Shibori dying technique is one of the oldest fabric-dyeing methods in the world, it’s also one of the easiest. Case in point: Lovely Indeed’s DIY Indigo Shibori Dyed Kitchen Towels. With little more than a bucket, an indigo dye kit, and a stirring stick, you can make your very own Shibori-style tea towels. Not only are they gorgeous, these DIY towels are pretty much foolproof to make.
