Most Popular DIYs of 2015

Learn how to transform an Ikea Kallax into a mid-century inspired sideboard table in this easy tutorial.

To help kick off 2016 and a new year of lots of fun content, I’m sharing everyone’s favorite DIYs from 2015, which coincidentally, include some of my favorites too. If you’re wondering what your first DIY of the year should be, I’m sure this list of popular projects will inspire you!

Ikea Kallax Hack

Hands down the most popular DIY of the year! It seems like everyone loves a good Ikea hack and who doesn’t love mint green and gold tapered legs. I think they should be on just about every piece of furniture. Ever.

Add vinyl polka dots to a door for a fun and playful look. Cute for a kid's room or even an office.

Polka Dot Door

If you’ve been following my blog for awhile, then you know I have an affinity for polka dots. I put them on just about anything and everything and my old office door was no exception!

Wrap pain cylinder vases in adhesive wood veneer to create these gorgeous, modern vases!

Color Blocked Wood Vases

I used these super easy to make wood veneer wrapped vases time and time again. This project also inspired lots of other wood veneer projects like my adventure print and wood heart cake toppers.

Transform kids alphabet magnets by spray painting them bright white and dipping them in paint! (click through for video tutorial)

Paint Dipped Magnets

Turns out kids and adults alike love these paint dipped alphabet agents. Lots of you shared photos of your version of this project in your own color palette.

I made the new (and free!) @helens__closet #OrchardDress for myself and my mini! #sarahheartssews 
.
Fabric: knit almost non stretch swim-ish fabric from @topstitchatl 
Pattern: #orcharddress (up to a 60” chest)
Sewn on my @babylocksewing Soprano

For June’s version, I printed the size 0 at 70% scale and then cut about 4” off the length of view B. She’s a size 4/5 in ready to wear clothes. Mine is a size size 10 graded to a 12, shortened 3” and then 2” were taken off the straps (I’m 5’3”).
