1. Twig lamp shade (h/t The Shabby Creek Cottage)
Do you have an old lamp lying around that needs an upgrade? You should make it a new lampshade out of twigs! You'll need some patience, but as long as you have an old lamp and a hot glue gun, this project won't cost a cent to make.

This is one of the simplest DIY projects you could do, but it makes such a big impact! In fact, it would make a great decorative piece on your door.

This twig side table is a bit of an optical illusion... it's not made entirely out of sticks, but rather out of sticks and wood slices glued to a sturdy table! You don't need any woodworking skills at all to pull this project off, and your friends won't be able to believe that you made it yourself.
