Pinterest DIY Home Decor and Gift Ideas
I needed a break. I just wanted to get lost in Pinterest. As you might know, I’m a bit obsessed with Pinterest — I’m over there a lot and have 72,000 followers.
And so I did, and it’s always amazing to me how creative people are! These are the most unique Pinterest DIY home decor ideas and gifts I found in a while.
I’m listing them here so I don’t forget them, and because I thought you would like them as well.

CD Cases Wall Art
How cool is this CD cases wall art — and it’s so easy to create.
If you don’t have old CDs lying around, you can buy a bunch of clear CD cases for not much money and cut up your favorite picture for this wall art.
This would also look great in a kids room — simply cut up a poster, and maybe even leave some space between the CD cases for an interesting effect.
I would attach the cases with Command Velcro removable strips.
Simple Framed Monogram and Wreath Decor
Okay, how pretty is this idea of a wreath and a frame and a monogram? This works for every season and would also make a cute personalized gift.
I don’t know about you, but I have so many extra picture frames lying around I could make this with, and you can get monogram letters at any crafts store or Amazon.
Growth “Chart” in a Shadow Box
Just put your kid’s shoes in a shadow box and voila — a shoe growth chart!
You could make one for yourself to keep track of your child’s first shoes, and make another one for a family member. I know my mom would love this gift!
You’ll want a shadow box with a deep frame, and I would remove the glass so there is room for the shoes.
Mustaches for Straws
Decorate simple straws with paper mustaches — that’s fun for kids and adults, on any occasion.
All you need for this project is black or brown cardstock and a hole puncher.
Painted Pinecones
Get out the spray cans! Just spray paint pine cones and display them like this in a glass container. What a conversation piece.
You could paint them
- white for winter decor
- red, white, and blue for patriotic decor
- or any other color you want to decorate with
I hope you liked these Pinterest DIY home decor ideas — maybe enough to make one of them?

I am crazy about your Pinecones!! Just seeing this picture, with all the different colors has given me tons of inspiration. In the past, I have only used pinecones at Christmas-time. Now that spring is here, I’m looking forward to beginning a new look and theme with them….Thanks a bunch!

I’m up all night because that’s when I blog and read/answer emails, schedule posts, tweet… :) Blogging as a business is very time-consuming.

Cute! Love the wreath especially myself. Why are you awake so late? Is this why you get so much more done than we do? ;)
