DIY For Dummies (Just 2 Ingredients!) – 5th Edition

|

Easy DIY ideas with only 2 ingredients

It’s my vacation week out at Lake Michigan and has been my usual practice for the last few years, I take a little break from my usual writing and instead do a look back at some of the previous ideas I’ve shared.

I call this annual list of 10 ideas my DIY for Dummies list (not because I think you are all nothing but dummies of course), but because it’s a list of do-it-yourself ideas that are just a simple combination of a couple things.  I’m still calling this my “two ingredient” list even though as the years have gone by some of the ideas are less about food ingredients and are more about just needing a couple main items to complete the project.

My hope is that this list is a good reminder that making your own creations need not always be a daunting process.  Sometimes all it takes are just a couple things and a creative spirit to get the job done.

Enjoy!
