Have you got a free weekend but you still need a fun DIY project? Look no further! I’ve gathered some of my favorite DIY projects that are quick, easy, and–most importantly–can be done for under $20. I love a good DIY project as much as the next lady, but I hate spending lots of money on my projects. Well, here’s the answer! I hope you find some ideas that you can use and won’t break the bank!

The Every Girl painted gold dots all over the accent wall of this living room. I love the way this looks–so fresh, fun, and sophisticated. And all you need is a stencil or stamp and some paint! Easy and inexpensive!

Charming Zebra posted a tutorial for making this lovely window hanging. This would be great for a door or small window, and you can just use fabric remnants! You might be able to do this project without spending ANY money!

At Home In Love posted this beautiful kitchen with a bright blue accent window. I love the idea of simply painting the frame of a window. And this is such a great example! The blue really pops in the mostly white kitchen. Now I just have to decide what color to use!

    Is it possible to do this in a shower floor. My shower tray is all worn out and do not want to replace the whole shower. It is fiberglass?

      I would think that all the water between the stones would quickly create an environment for mold/ mildew to grow. It would be extremely hard to keep clean, in my opinion.

      Why not seal it like tile? My son purchased tiles like that and put them in his bathroom

    I love these and might make one for my bathroom although I might add a layer of cork between the mat backing and the rock so it would absorb water.

      Did the cork work to absorb the water?

        That’s what I want to know too! Will it absorb? Will it deteriorate? Will it get moldy? Sure would like to know!

    What a fun weekend project. I wonder how those stones will feel under your feet. I bet if you pick the right ones, they will give you a mini foot massage when you step out of the shower.

    Will the rocks not become too slippery when stepping on them wet? I’m worried I might slip when I get out of the shower or even near the sink. Has anyone tested this yet?
