Turn a piece of wood into a wood-engraved map and personalize each state with pretty patterned paper. (via Brit + Co)

2. DIY Pom Pom Pillow: Cooler weather = more couch time, which means it’s time to switch up your throw pillow game. Take advantage of some quality Netflix time to make a pile of pom poms and perk up an old pillowcase or hack an inexpensive IKEA pillow into a one-of-a-kind piece of decor. (via A Kailo Chic Life)

4. DIY Cactus Cotton Bag: Customize a cotton canvas pencil case, backpack or makeup bag with this super quick and simple project.
