Look at all these low cost projects!! DIY should
not mean expensive. It should mean cost-effective and using what you have / can
find cheaply.
Random part of a 2' x 4' piece of lumber left in
my garage when we moved in. I cut it up, painted it, and added a little string
bow for Thanksgiving. They advertise these on Pinterest, but again, buying the
wood or purchasing pre-cut wood costs more than I would like to pay. (Cost: $0)

Before picture of our ceiling fan that came with our house. It was
cramping my style. Thanks to Pinterest and the materials I already possessed,
I ended up with the following. (Cost: $1 can of black spray
paint for the top metal part of the fan [previously gold]).
Normally, people
spend a lot of money buying burlap to make a wreath. This burlap came from my
dad's shed. After ten years of sitting in a bag, it was a bit yellow. Luckily,
red spray paint fixed all that! Total cost: ($3 metal frame, $1 spray paint can
[cheap brand], and $3 Hobby Lobby 'S' sign).
The broken panels
from my fence were re-purposed for a little walkway. We did choose to stain the
wood, so final cost: $6 small can of wood deck stain.
More to Come!!!
