If Pinterest has taught us anything, it’s that there is no shortage of ways to be creative. From simple life hacks to full room makeovers, the website is the place to find exciting DIYs. For years, we’ve shared some of our favorite craft ideas on our Creative DIY board, where they run the gamut from fun food to objects that will make your home a more colorful place to be.
There are many ways to express yourself thanks to different art and craft ideas. While you might not have time in your day to attempt all of them, consider what interests you the most and try that. Furthermore, think about the supplies you already have handy around your home; food DIYs are often great ways to get started because you’re likely to have many of the ingredients already in your kitchen. When complete, they can make an ordinary meal more fun—which is often the point of these projects.
Check out 10 of our popular pins on our Creative DIY board. Some will offer you step-by-step instructions while others are a source of inspiration. And be sure to follow us on Pinterest to get more DIYs like this!

Succulent Cakes
Ivenoven is a master of buttercream—particularly when it comes to flowers. While colorful blooms are often the norm for this style of cakes, the Jakarta-based baker has put a twist on the convention by swapping flower petals for succulents. Ivenoven doesn’t reveal all her secrets, but this Craftsy tutorial will help you make your own version of these buttercream succulents.
Staircase Decals
Stair risers are one unexpected place to put patterns or color in your home. Etsy shop ColoRay has a wide selection of hues and motifs to put on your steps. Best of all, they’re completely removable, making them a great option for renters.
Temporary Tattoo Art
Have you ever wanted to create your own body art? It’s easier than you think with DIY temporary tattoos. If you’ve got an inkjet printer, decal paper, and a design in mind, you can produce faux ink that’ll last for a few days.
Knitted Sneakers
Don’t worry about wearing these sneakers in the house—they’re knitted. Modeled after a classic pair of Converse high tops, these cozy slippers have double-lined soles to make them extra warm. Take your knitting knowledge and visit Etsy shop Reaverse Design who has developed the design for instant download.
Mini Mid-Century Planters
The current home decor trend is to transform your space into an indoor jungle. To do that, you’ll need plants big and tiny. For those on the smaller side, these adorable pedestal planters will hold your favorite botanicals with a Mid-century feel.
