A roundup of 36 awesome and clever DIY kitchen crafts. 

36 DIY KITCHEN CRAFTS --A roundup of 36 clever ideas from around the web for do-it-yourself kitchen crafts, including servingware, kitchenware, wall art, party decorations and more

 

DIY kitchen crafts 

“DIY kitchen crafts,” as in kitchenware, tableware, some partyware… All the wares. Utensils, placemats, dishes, stuff to decorate tables for parties. That’s what this roundup is, but all DIY. You know, because you folks are so clever and crafty and have lots of free time. (Maybe not that last part.) If you had all day with nothing to do, no appointments, no cleaning, no chores, no errands, no work, nothing, zippo, zilch, would you spend the day making things? Creating? I might. I might also watch a lot of TV, admittedly. And maybe I would go outside for just a little bit, depending on the weather.

In case you get pockets of free time here and there, here are 36 how-tos for sprucing up your kitchen. Dinosaur serving trays, CDs-turned-coasters, popsicle sticks-turned-table runners, sprinkle cake stand, crocheted dish towel… I promise there is a lot of great stuff packed in here. It’s one of my favorite roundups. [This post was originally published July 2013 and updated in January 2019.]

    I have some old cabinet doors and I want to turn them into trays or just something useful. 26 is a perfect idea! Thanks for putting this together I’m always looking for creative ways to repurpose things around the house.
    We are just cleaning out the garage and I have about 10 projects that I want to do so this is really great!
