DIY Projects to Make Your Home Cozy This Winter

One of the best ways to make a home feel warm and cozy on a wintery day is through DIY projects to personalize the space. You don’t have to be an expert carpenter or have access to power tools in order to customize your home! All you need is a little creativity and time. Check out these creative DIY projects to make your home extra cozy this winter.

Upcycle Your Wool Sweaters

By this point in the season, you have likely gotten a good feel for which sweaters are your go-to's and which are just collecting dust. Upcycle your wool sweaters by making wool dryer balls, an eco-friendly and budget-friendly alternative to single-use dryer sheets. As an added bonus, the end results are usually cute enough to display in a bowl on your coffee table or countertop. Alternatively, add a statement piece to your entryway with this DIY sweater rug.

Spruce Up a Bare Corner

All you need is an afternoon and a few reclaimed crates to elevate an empty corner in your home. These instructions for DIY cratebook shelves are as easy as it gets. Simply stack the crates and secure them in place! Personalize it with decor that you can swap out for coziness all year long.

Get Cozy With Some Throw Pillows

Throw pillows are a great way to add warmth to your home and making your own pillows can help you achieve a custom decor feel that no one else has. Find fabrics that match your furniture, or upcycle some sturdier clothes or blankets that are ready for a new life. If you have never sewed before, pillows are a great place to start, no sewing machine required!

Divide Your Space Beautifully

Do you have an awkward space that needs a little more separation, like a living room/office combo, or a shared bedroom? This twinkling branches room divider is a creative and easy way to create separation between different parts of your home. The trickiest part is building the frame, but the results are worth the effort!

Papercraft a Custom Wreath

Wreaths are a great way to personalize your door or a blank wall. Although there are tons of fun DIY wreath options out there, this wreath made from book pages looks as charming as it does challenging. If you love crafting with paper, this project is for you! Use an old book or even just some colorful paper to create this ring of paper roses.

All of these projects are guaranteed to add some creative flair to your home while helping to pass the time on a snow day. Being stuck inside when the weather gets rough doesn’t have to be boring! Whether you are an indoor crafter or outdoor adventurer, VerraWest in Longmont, Colorado offers fantastic amenities and a variety of floorplans to fit your lifestyle. Contact us today to learn more.
