    100 Easy Project Ideas for when you're stuck in the house and bored to death. Is it too hot? Too cold? Do you need a creative outlet, but are in a rut? Easy and quick projects to get your mojo back. #MyRepurposedLife #diy #easy #projects #indoors via @repurposedlife100 Easy Project Ideas for when you're stuck in the house and bored to death.

    Are you stuck in the house? Is it too hot to go outside? Maybe you have cabin fever because it's too cold. Whatever the reason, if you're feeling bored and need a quick easy project idea that can generally be done in less than 2 hours, I have you covered.

    Some friends and I have collected our favorite quick and easy 100 projects to do when you're in a rut, or stuck inside due to the weather. You will find home decor projects, holiday ideas and more to spur your creative side.

    I'll be sharing a few of my favorites, as well as easy projects I love from my friends. Because our collection is so huge, this won't be an easy task.

    Let's start with Five Favorites from yours truly

    In no particular order, here are Five Projects. Of course I have tons more I could highlight, so to see my entire collection of easy ideas, click that link.

    Glass Globe Solar Light

    I love how easy (and cheap) these solar light globes are. You can make several for only a couple of dollars. They really shine great in the dark.

    Upcycled Glass Garden Feature

    I've been making these glass garden topiaries, or totems ever since I started blogging. The first one I ever made is in my backyard camper retreat.

    How to Line a Vintage Suitcase

    Old suitcases are readily available at thrift stores. Generally, they are okay on the outside, but the inside is either smelly, torn, or missing. I'll show you step by step how to replace that lining with new fabric.

    Pencil Transfer Method

    This simple transfer technique can be done on any piece of furniture, or even a framed project. You don't need fancy machines to do a transfer.

    Easiest iPad Stand Ever

    Oh my gosh, it does NOT get any easier than this easiest iPad stand ever. You can pick up the items at the dollar store, or a thrift store like I did. You will be amazed at how easy this project is.

    Teapot Pin Cushion

    I love, love, love this easy DIY Pin Cushion using a Vintage Teapot!

    Silver Plate Goblet Candle

    Kathy has the BEST ideas! She melts her candle wax in a way I never thought of as she makes this Silver Plate Goblet Candle.

    Spray Paint Tips

    Do you LOVE to update and upcycle? Christy has great Spray Paint Tips for you as she guides you through this Pedestal Bowl Makeover.

    Easy Macrame Project

    Kristin walks you through this Boho Chic Macrame project, making it a lot easier than it looks!

    Easy Project | Rope Shelf

    If you're too intimidated by all those knots, how about this really simple rope shelf? You can go large or small, paint-stain etc. That's the best thing about DIY crafty projects, you get to make them your own!

    DIY Christmas Bottles

    I've used these kinds of small transfers, oh so easy! Make these easy Christmas Bottles--Carlene will show you how!

    Remember, these projects are perfect when you're stuck indoors when it's too hot, too cold, or any other reason when you need a Craft Break! Sometimes, we just need to get crafty for a mental health break, right?

    Wood Slices | Easy Projects

    While we're talking about Christmas, how about these Wood Slices used for Ornaments or Gift Tags? I think it's such a great idea!

    If you're reading this in the Summer (when it's too hot) think Christmas in July. July really is the perfect time to make Christmas projects before all the hustle and bustle of the holidays start!

    Need more ideas for an easy project when you are stuck in the house due to weather, or some other reason?
