DIY projects are not just for the young and crafty. In fact, they can be a great outlet for seniors looking to decorate their homes and have fun at the same time.
Not only do DIY projects offer a sense of accomplishment and pride, but they also provide an opportunity to flex your creative muscles and an opportunity to learn new skills. Whether it's a simple painting project or a more complex piece of furniture, there is a DIY project out there for everyone.
So, grab your toolbox and let's get creative!
Ever feel like your living space needs a little sprucing up? Interior stylist Dina has come to the rescue with a clever Kmart DIY project that's sure to add some pizzazz to any living room or study.
With just a $20 Kmart lazy Susan, a $129 parc planter from Freedom, and a plastic plant nursery pot, Dina has created a one-of-a-kind side table that's not only stylish, but also functional. And the best part? It's so easy to make!
First, Dina sanded the top of the lazy Susan and coated it with timber stain and varnish. Next, she spray-painted it gold and added another coat of varnish.
The secret to the side table's spinning ability is the addition of a plastic plant nursery pot and some gorilla glue.
Simply glue the pot around the top of the planter, making sure it's clean and dry before applying the glue, and voila! A unique, rotating side table for your living space.
The finished product is truly a work of art, and Dina's followers have been raving about it in the comments section of her Instagram post. One even suggested it would make a perfect gift for friends, while another said they had been searching for something just like it.
'Oh, this turned out so good! I love it,' a fellow DIYer commented, while another chimed in and added: 'This is such a fun idea. Definitely trying it out!'

Another easy DIY project that you could try over the weekend is creating a hanging planter. This can be done using items from Kmart or Bunnings, and requires minimal tools and materials. Here's what you'll need:
- A ceramic or plastic plant pot (available at Kmart or Bunnings)
- A piece of jute or cotton rope
- Scissors
- A drill and a small drill bit (or a hammer and nails)
- Potting mix and plants of your choice
Instructions:
- Start by drilling two small holes on opposite sides of the pot, about an inch from the rim.
- Cut a length of rope that is long enough to hang the pot at the desired height, with a little extra to tie a knot.
- Thread the rope through the holes in the pot and tie a knot on each side.
- Fill the pot with potting mix and plant your desired plant.
- Hang the planter on a hook or nail on the wall or on a ceiling.
