Whether you love to make something new or simply want unique decorations for the home, you should visit your local hardware store for supplies. As an excellent, yet often overlooked, resource, this store can provide the perfect materials for new décor. For some inspiration, here are a few projects to complete.

3 Fun Projects You Can Do With Hardware Store Materials

1. Lampshades

If your lamps are too boring, bring them to the next level with paint sticks. Though you typically use these wooden stirrers to mix and blend paints, you can purchase a few extras and partially dip them in your favorite paint color. With the application of hot glue, adhere each stick to the lampshade for a unique and chic look.

2. Wall Storage

When you need extra wall-storage space, purchase some cardboard tubes with varying diameters. Decorate the outside of the tubes with paint or construction paper. Then, cut them so they are about 12 inches deep and hang them on the wall. You’ll likely need some load-bearing braces so the tubes can hold your belongings.

3. Kids’ Clubhouse

If you want to give your kids a fun clubhouse without breaking the bank, convert a dining table or desk with roller shades. First, measure the distance on each side of the table and find roller shades with consistent lengths. Attach these to the bottom of the table and pull down the shades whenever your kids need a place to play. For a unique look, draw a fun scene or use exciting colors.
