3 Must-Have DIY Designer Decorations For Anyone On A Budget
Katie Peles

One of the best ways to decorate a home if you are someone who appreciates luxury goods is to buy into the luxury homeware that many designer brands sell. For many, it is way out of our price range. Here are three DIY projects that I have personally tried out myself, and I will give you the resources to try then out on your own!

1. A logo letter is the perfect customizable gift.

What you need:

-Wooden letter from a craft store

-Pencil

-Paint

-Glue stick

-Computer and printer

-Scissors

Duration: 1 hour (can vary depending on drying time)

Price: Less than $5

Directions:

1. First paint the whole letter by your chosen colored paint. For this example, I did white. Two even coats will cover the wood color. Let each coat dry for 15-20 minutes.

2. Find a picture of a logo online you like, save it and print it out.

3. Trace the logo with your wood letter. Cut out paper.

4. Glue the paper to the wooden letter, let dry, and you're done!

This is a simple, cute, and personal piece that's great to make as a gift for your friend using their favorite brand!

2. Use your perfume bottle for inspiration!

What you need:

-Printed canvas from Dollar Tree

-Pencil

-Black marker

-Glue

-Glitter

Duration: 20-30 minutes

Price: Less than $5

Directions:

1. Pick out your favorite perfume bottle and draw the shape of the bottle in pencil.

2. Trace over pencil with marker. Add extra lines around in marker to add character, and let dry.

3. Put glue on the drawing where sparkles will go. Shake glitter onto glue.

4. Let dry for 10 minutes.

5. Shake off excess glitter. Fill in any spots where more glitter is desired.

This affordable craft is not only cute, but it lets everyone know your favorite perfume!

3. Try a flower arrangement.

Directions:

1. Cut down flower stems with heavy duty scissors so that the stems are 4 to 5 inches long.

2. Print out your favorite perfume logo and cut it to desired size of vase.

3. Glue paper to vase.

3. Fill vase with pearls.

4. Bend flower stems slightly and place in vase.

Just like that, you have a luxury flower arrangement.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
