Looking for super simple crafts you can make for your home without spending a lot? Here are 10 simple craft projects under $10.
Do you remember this story?
Do you remember when I hosted that ZOOM meeting to show us all how to make those illustrations?
I’ve been thinking a lot about it and I enjoyed it so much and we had so much fun.
And I’m thinking I want to host another one.
Or maybe just a Facebook Live if ZOOM is too much for everyone. Again, no charge or anything like that—I just want to give back to you all because you give so much to me. I can give you a list of supplies and we can all craft and DIY together.
What do you think?
Can you give me some input in the comments?
Would you like to see:
- A pillow DIY?
- DIY artwork project?
- A wreath project?
- An air dry clay DIY?
- A DIY frame project?
- Or maybe something else I haven’t thought of yet
So to inspire you and give you some ideas and to demonstrate that I can actually DIY—I wanted to share some easy projects.
I really like easy.
Short, simple, inexpensive projects that take a minute and give me a sense of crafting accomplishment and make me so happy. Please tell me I’m not the only one. Please tell me I’m not alone. Please tell me you have been getting to know your scrapbook paper collection better, too.
And just in case you are out of projects? I have a few suggestions.
Here are 10 simple craft projects for under $10.

This is truly an easy DIY for all the flowers in your life.
You just need clay pots and napkins or scrap paper.

3. How to make a bird plate wall
This is such an easy project and you could make it with any set of plates.

Use any colors of paper to match your own decor and add a nest.
This bird would be so cute in a wreath, too.

5. This faux chair slipcover

It would be such a fun project for a craft room or office or party.
The project is made with a pre-made slicover and iron-on fabric adhesive.
