DIY home decor should be something creative, and what is more creative than turning waste into a wonder? Use your spare clothing and cut them into strips. Braid them into a very long chain and finally sew the chain in the shape you like.

2. Moon Lamp From Tissues
This DIY home decor project is simple, cheap, and rich in looks. The trendy moon lamp found on various platforms at various prices from high to low can be made from merely a balloon, a box of tissue paper or toilet paper, a bulb, and a few blocks of wood(can be replaced by cardboard).
All you have to do is get a balloon of the size you prefer for your moon. Then take a glue and add a little amount of water in it, mix well. Once the thin glue-water mixture is prepared, take tissue papers one after another and paste them on the balloon using the glue mix. Cover the whole balloon leaving enough space at the bottom for the bulb to fit in. When the tissue papers are completely dried, pop the balloon, and you have your moon ready.
Add the bulb or Christmas lights inside and close it using cardboard. For the holder, use a few blocks of wood, or be crafty and make the holder out of cardboard.

3. Infinite Candle
Infinite candles can be made easily at home using clear glass, water, and oil only. Use your creativity to decorate the candle. Start by adding plastic decorative items, and fill the glass halfway with water. Then, add oil to the water; just enough to fill the glass as much as you like. Now place a tiny candle in the middle of the oily layer. And there you go!

4. DIY Mirror From Icecream Sticks
A fancy mirror makes the house look rich and cool, and the best part is that we can make it at home very quickly and easily. Take a piece of cardboard, and cut it into a shape, preferably a circle. Take some ice cream sticks, just enough to outline the circle you made out of the cardboard sheet. Cut the pieces into irregular sizes and stick them so as to outline the circle. Once dried, paint the sticks in your desired color and paste a mirror in the space in the middle. Decorate as much as you want.
