5 Easy DIY Makeovers

Decor and Decorating

Share it with others!

Here's the completed night light and I love it. Place this anywhere in your home and share the inspiration.

I had some items laying around that I wanted to give a little “wow” factor too. Using some Main Street Decals I could easily complete 5 DIY Makeovers!

Here are the decals I wanted to use to update and makeover my different items. Most of the time people think of decals for their walls, doors, & cars. When I see them I think about all of the possibilities - lamp shades, windows, canvas art, furniture... The great thing about these decals is that you can easily remove them and change them up.

    Good Morning!
    Just like Patti I am not familiar with Main Street Decals, but I sure want to be now!
    Such a wonderful alternative to stenciling and the transparency on the glass is awesome.
    Great sharing this crafting blog hop with you!

    Great ideas! Whenever I go to Dollar Tree, I check for new decals! Like your variety of objects. I tried one on a breadboard but the surface was not smooth enough for it to work. My glass French doors may get some new details!

    Chas, I would have never thought of using decals these fun and clever ways— thanks for the creative inspiration! I especially like the glass block and jar. Perhaps you could top the lid with a silk flower with a butterfly perched on it? Like my sunflower fascinator?
