Here at CBC Life, we're big fans of curating a beautiful space full of unique accents and objects you won't see in everyone else's home. But since one-of-a-kind items from the store usually come with a steep price tag, we're all about getting a little creative and making things ourselves! Not only is DIYing cost-effective, it can simplify everyday life, since the projects help you stay organized, keep things clean, and make use of items that are probably collecting dust in your closet.

With March being National Craft Month (it's true!), we are extra-pumped to get you rolling up your sleeves, breaking out the glue gun and taking on a fun new project (or, you know, twelve).

Instead of leaving you to scour the never-ending abyss that is Pinterest, we've rounded up our favourite DIYs, to give you all the inspo you need to get those crafting wheels turning. Whether you haven't picked up a paintbrush before, or you're a seasoned pro, these easy crafts will help you explore your DIY side.
