Looking for some cheap and easy ideas for making home decor or crafts? Turns out some of my favorite DIY projects are practically free to make, and many of those are made from a surprising item, leftover empty cereal boxes. Arm yourself with a few empty boxes of Frosted Flakes or Cheerios and DIY your way into some of the most awesome decorating ideas ever.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
