DIY Room Decor: 5 Easy Projects Kids Can Make Themselves

Kids love to express their personality and style, and what better way than to let them decorate their own room? DIY projects not only allow them to create a space that feels uniquely "theirs" but also provides a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Here are 5 easy and fun DIY room decor projects your kids can make with a little help and a lot of creativity:

1. Personalised Pencil Holders: Using a small container (like a toilet roll tube or a cup) as a base, your child can cover it with air-dry clay, sculpt fun shapes, and paint it. It’s a useful and personalised addition to their desk.

2. Snail or Mushroom Trinket Dishes: These are so simple to make! Your child can roll out a flat piece of clay for the base and then sculpt a snail or mushroom on top. Perfect for holding small treasures like paper clips or rings.

3. Hanging Wall Art: Roll out a thin, flat piece of clay and let your child press leaves, flowers, or other textures into it. Once dry, they can paint it and hang it with a piece of twine for a unique piece of wall art.

4. Custom Photo Frames: A simple wooden or cardboard frame can be transformed with air-dry clay. Kids can create a beautiful border of shapes, patterns, or tiny flowers to make their favourite photo stand out.

5. Miniature Book Nook: For the little bookworms, creating a miniature book nook is a magical project. They can sculpt tiny book replicas and other small items with clay to place on a shelf or inside a shadow box.
