The Internet, To Infinity And Beyond

The internet is a powerful tool that can be used in many ways to improve your quality of life. To start, you can find out how to make the best pie crust with only 3 ingredients - no rolling pin or even pastry cutter needed. The "infinite" part of our post title refers to the fact that you can also learn how to build an infinity mirror and create a Zen-like tranquil environment for your home or office.

We've decided to devote this post to one of our favorite topics - the internet, and it's infinite possibilities. And since we are in the holiday spirit, we have gathered a collection of really fun and interesting ideas for gifts that you can create yourself over the next couple weeks using only items from your local hardware store.

This is a really neat way to reuse old sunglasses to make a pair of stylish earrings. What we like about this project is not only that it is cheap, but also that these sunglasses have a sentimental value - you could use your grandmother's vintage ones or those with unusual frames that you found at the flea market .

We've posted several DIY ideas for earrings, but these ones are great not only because they look so stunning and unique, but also because of their color. You can make several different pairs using the same technique and add them to your everyday jewelry collection. And yes, they'll match almost every outfit you have in your closet.

You don't need any special skills or tools to create this stunning mosaic mirror - just patience and persistence (it takes some time to stick all the tiles together). If you ask us, it is really worth a try - the final result will amaze you.

You can find the complete tutorial on how to make this mirror here .

Doesn't this project look incredibly fun and creative? And we're sure the end result will be as stunning as it seems. This would be a great gift for anyone who is into photography or even fashion - you can easily mount your phone into it and turn your photos into a gif.

We've featured a lot of different DIY projects that are made from wine bottles, inspired by One Kings Lane , but this one is really amazing. It's useful too - you can use it to hold keys, coins, makeup brushes and other items.

This is the perfect project for people who aren't experienced woodworkers but still love the feel and smell of wood. It's a simple piece, but it would really stand out on any desk. You could even add a printout of your favorite artist or inspirational quote, as a little reminder that you're on your way to greatness.

The coolest part about this Christmas tree is that you can make it look like an actual fir - you just need to cut off all the branches and paint them the right color. We've gathered other projects that use similar techniques here .

This is a table lamp with a beautiful bohemian vibe, which is a nice alternative to more traditional designs.

Conclusion
