Top DIY Posts of 2018

Looking back at top DIY posts of 2018. I’m sometimes a little surprised at most visited posts – they’re blasts from the past! I’ll share a 2018 recap later this week but let’s take a look at DIYShowOff reader favorites from the past year: 

top posts 2018

Lighted PVC Candy Cane Decor made the top of the list of faves. Wouldn’t several lining a walkway look so festive and inviting?

Looks like a tire swing but upcycle an old tire into a planter: DIY Tire Planter. This always gets compliments at our home. Who knew an old tire turned planter would be a great conversation starter?

Pallet Herb Garden – time to give some thought to this year’s herb list. I love that we still utilize this on our patio which is located right off the kitchen. Mint for mojitos, rosemary for roasted cashews.

This one reminds, me. I really need to organize and refresh these shelves in real life. Adding it to the to-do list! This former under-utilized space in our home (there are 6 door ways in this small space!) now functions as an open pantry and we love it!

Ah. Another oldie but goodie and favorite project. Next time you’re at the thrift store, check out the electronics/lighting department (i.e. maybe 1 shelf of things with wiring). lol

What I did:

  1. I added a wool dryer ball to a treat bag and secured the top with a clear elastic hair band.wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorial
  2. Then popped in another wool dryer ball and closed the top with another clear elastic hair band. wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorial
  3. Attach the snowman had to cover the top using hot glue. wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorial
  4. Decorate hat with Christmas florals or ribbon. wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorial
  5. Tie on a holiday ribbon scarf between the two wool dryer balls.wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorial
  6. Draw a face using your Sharpie markers.wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorial
  7. Attach a business card and sample of your favorite essential oil. 

wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorial wool dryer ball snowman essential oils tutorialHow I use mine: REPLACE toxic dryer sheets with wool dryer balls and essential oils! Remove wool dryer balls from packaging, stick the snowman hat on your dog (or not – hahaha!), add a few drops of essential oil to each ball and toss in the dryer with a load of wet clothes. I find that since my dryer has a sensor and stops when clothes are dry, that we don’t have issue with static cling. Sometimes, I’ll add another drop or two and “air dry” or “fluff” before folding dry clothes.
