This DIY project is perfect for those looking to add a unique and personal touch to their interior decor.

This DIY faux-ceramic lamp base pairs well with modern and minimalist interior styles. Its textured appearance adds depth and interest to any room.

Bright orange plastic laundry detergent jugs (6 pieces, 5-inch squares)

Cut the plastic laundry detergent jugs into six 5-inch squares.

Place the squares on a granite countertop and cover them with a sheet of parchment paper.

Using an iron on medium heat, gently press down on the parchment paper to slightly melt and flatten the plastic squares.

Once the squares are flattened and cooled, arrange them into a cylindrical shape and secure them together using a hot glue gun.
