7 DIY Projects That Are Impossible To Mess Up

Ah, Pinterest. We love it for its endless DIY inspiration, but when it comes to actually making Pinterest projects ourselves? Well, let's just say we are more likely to keep those projects pinned to our digital boards rather than create them in real life. As much as we're all about going the DIY route, too many times those great ideas we gush over go by the wayside, for a multitude of reasons — we are too tired, too busy, or don't have the right supplies. But as these Hometalk bloggers prove, there are certain Pinterest projects you seriously have to try — they are too simple (and way too cute!) to pass up.

We’ve all been there — you are sitting and scrolling through Pinterest, when one perfect project stands out and shouts, “MAKE ME!” There is no need to feel guilty. It could be a geometric planter made from cocktail straws spray painted gold, or an easy arm knitted blanket made from cut-up old t-shirts. Whatever your Pinterest craving, we've got seven more Pin-spired projects that you must add to your list. How do we know they are amazing? Because seven Hometalk Bloggers decided to answer Pinterest’s call, and the result was awesome. See for yourself:

5. Large Wooden Growth Chart From A Pine Board

7. Himmeli Geometric Sculpture

We knew that cocktail straw planter idea sounded too good to be true, so we had to prove we weren't making it up. Gather your straws and shake up that spray paint, because you're about to have an Anthropologie-approved piece of decor for almost nothing.
