Who doesn\u2019t love a bit of DIY from time to time? Taking on smaller, simpler projects can be a lot of fun and will really help you put your own stamp on your house \u2013 although don\u2019t try and do something that you don\u2019t have the necessary skills and experience to complete, as you could find you do more harm than good to your home. If you are interested in doing some upcycling this year, here are six different projects you could try. Which of these is your favourite?<\/p>\n

Hanging whisk tealight holders<\/h4>\n

This couldn\u2019t be simpler to achieve and they really do look amazing! Simply invest in a few metal kitchen whisks, hang them in your home and then place tealights in them for a really fun and unique candle holder. If you\u2019re worried about fire risks, simply use battery-operated tealights instead.<\/p>\n

Vintage tennis racket mirrors<\/h4>\n

Reusing old clothes around the house couldn\u2019t be easier with this sweater lampshade tutorial, courtesy of Unskinny Boppy. All you have to do is pull the sweater down over your shade, then trim it to fit and use hot glue around the edges so it stays in place. Job done!<\/p>\n

A piano bookcase<\/h4>\n

Now, this one might take a bit more planning than some of the others on this list but you can\u2019t deny the impact this would have. Get yourself an old grand piano (eBay is probably your best bet), take the top and bottom of it off, then hang it on the wall to use it as an incredibly bookcase<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bathtub daybed<\/h4>\n
