9 Pinterest-Inspired DIY Trends We’ve All Tried To Make

Pinterest is what inspires us. Every trend that we have tried, we have spotted on Pinterest first. The concept of DIY has Pinterest to thank for its success. Trends come and go and thankfully Pinterest knows how to keep up with the latest crazes. Although the trends are constantly changing, there are a few that will never fade. We’ve tried them tons of times, and we just can’t seem to get enough. Here are the Pinterest DIYs we’ve all tried to make.

1. Melting Crayon Artwork


Who knew crayons could be used in such a unique and fun way? If you have not yet already, it is time to put away the adult coloring books and start melting your crayons away. The crayon-melting technique makes beautiful artwork on a canvas that can be hung in your room and look amazing.

2. Scrabble Necklaces
