DIY farm baskets make for a great storage project. You can use them to store linens, towels and other items. These baskets give a rustic yet chic appeal and can be customized to your liking.
For example, add fabric dye to a cloth of your choosing to line each basket. Add a drop or two of essential oils to keep linen items added to the basket smelling fresh and clean.
Do you enjoy gardening? Having a kneel pad can save you from knee pain, which often comes with kneeling in the garden. For this DIY project, you may need a sewing machine.
This fun project can be done with a multitude of cloth patterns, so don’t be afraid to experiment with the style you desire. Once you choose a fabric with the pattern you desire, you’ll need cotton stuffing and sewing supplies to make your kneel pad.
