10 Fresh DIY Decor Trends Because We're Sick of Mason Jars
Look, we love Mason jars as much as the next girl — they're pretty much required home accessories if you live in Brooklyn. But after using those all-purpose jars for everything from cocktails to candles, we’ve had enough. It’s not you, Mason jar; it’s us. Of course, we still have DIY decor needs to fill, so we combed the depths of Pinterest to satisfy our crafty kicks. Keep reading for the freshest DIY trends to get on board with this year.

Chevron
Oh, chevron. How do we love thee? It’s the perfect, modern pattern for sprucing up just about anything at home, from drab curtains to bare walls.
Large Wall Stencil, $33, Amazon
Honeycomb
If chevron isn’t your thing, maybe you need more polygons in your life. From bookshelves to this honeycomb wall by Vintage Revivals, the hexagon is where it’s at.
Paint Brush Set, $10, Amazon
Skinny Dipping
Not ready for a total paint job? Dip your toe in the water(color) with an easy dip dyeing project, courtesy of our friends at Swiish.
Green Acylic Paint, $11, Amazon
Large Metal Tub, $18, Amazon
All That Glitters
Plain porcelain? What do you think we are — commoners? Add a touch of class with gold leaf, like these gilded bowls at Vitamini Handmade.
White Ceramic Bowls - 8 Ct, $24, Amazon
Gold Leaf Pen Kit, $32, Amazon
Birds of Feather
Move over, pine cones. The natural trend du jour is the gold-dipped feather, like the ones at The Copenhaven. String them together on a garland or put them in a vase and channel your inner woodland sprite.
White Feathers, $5, Amazon
Liquid Metal Paint, $9, Amazon
Out to Sea
Maybe you dream of maritime adventures, but the closest you’ve got are slush puddles after a snowstorm. Get nautical with this rope vase at Coordinately Yours.
Nautical Rope, $13, Amazon
Chalk It Up
Chalkboards aren’t just for hipster menus anymore. Paint a wall, a table, or a mirror— and while we’re getting chalk happy, try your hand at a one-of-a-kind garland.
Chalkboard Banner, $19, Amazon
Washi Tape
I’m convinced that you can do anything with washi tape. Want a bold wall accent? Done. Chic candles? You got it. A funky frame? Girl Loves Glam has just the thing.
Washi Tape Collection, $14, Amazon
The Bell Jar
Is there anything easier than putting knick knacks under a glass dome for a touch of quirky elegance? We didn’t think so.
Glass Cloche, $9, 22BayRoad
