These 12 Crafts Are Your Next DIY Decorating Projects

Supplies: Washed 20" x 20" linen pillow cover in beige (H&M, $13); R-Foil gold foil heat transfer (Screen Printing, $28); Wilflex Epic HD clear and foil transfer adhesive (Screen Printing, $33)

Here's How:

• 1. Iron a pillow cover to remove any wrinkles. Place a piece of cardboard inside to create a hard surface.
• 2. Working on a quarter of the pillow at a time, brush foil transfer adhesive onto the fabric in a random pattern. We used a 3/4-inch-wide flat paintbrush.
• 3. Cut a piece of gold foil large enough to cover the section, and place it over the adhesive, shiny side up.
• 4. Put a sheet of parchment paper on top, and iron the section on medium heat for about 20 seconds. Let cool.
• 5. Pull back foil to reveal the design. Repeat for the remaining sections.

Supplies: Glittrig metal containers (Ikea, $10); Leather 3" x 14" pieces in turquoise 345, yellow 346 and purple 347 (Etsy: Moxi Leather, $8 each); Suede cord 1/4"-wide in fuchsia, dark purple and turquoise (Leather Impact, $3 per yard)

Here's How:

• 1. Set the lids of the containers aside. Cut a piece of leather to fit around each container so the ends are flush.
• 2. Wrap the leather around the container and adhere with double-sided tape on the top, bottom, and ends.
• 3. Make monkey fist knots for the lids (we used suede cord). For a step-by-step guide, go to hgtv.com/monkey-fist-knot.
• 4. Glue the monkey fist knots to the lids with strong glue, such as Krazy Glue. Replace the lids.

Supplies: Smoothfoam styrofoam balls 1-1/2" and 2"-diameter (Michaels, both $6 for 12); Gold by Rust-Oleum Specialty Metallic spraypaint (Walmart, $4)

Here's How:

• 1. Stick bamboo skewers into a smooth Styrofoam ball, starting near the middle. We used 3-inch skewers for the small sphere and 4-inch for the large. Continue adding skewers until the entire ball is filled, as shown. If a skewer falls out, secure it with hot glue.
• 2. Spray-paint the sphere gold. Do a few coats, rotating it to cover the skewers and the ball completely.

Supplies: Wooden 1/4-"H x 3-3/4"-diameter unfinished circles (Action Craftworks, $6.50 each); Milk Bottle Caps (Etsy for a similar look); Decoupage adhesive Mod Podge in matte (Joann, $7)

Here's How:

• 1. Make copies of vintage milk bottle caps on a laser printer or
  at a copy store, enlarging them to create images that are
  3 -3/4 inches in diameter. (Our caps were 1-3/4 inches wide, and
  we enlarged them by 230%.)
• 2. Cut out each circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around.
  3. Center the printed image on top of a wood circle and adhere with decoupage medium. Let dry. Flip it over and trim the excess border with a crafts knife.
• 4. Brush a coat of decoupage medium on the top of each coaster
  to waterproof the paper.
