As the golden rays of summer start to wane and the scent of new notebooks fill the air, we at Do It Yourself understand that back-to-school season is right around the corner. We know how important it is to create a home environment that supports your child’s academic growth, so we’ve curated a list of exciting DIY projects to get your home ready. The best part?
1. Build Your Knowledge with DIY Bookshelves: Need a place to store all those schoolbooks? Crafting your own wooden bookshelf could be your weekend project. You’ll need a circular saw for precision cuts, a power drill for secure assembly, and a sander to give your bookshelf a smooth finish. Let us provide the tools for your carpentry needs.
2. Ace Homework with a Dedicated Homework Station: Support focused study time by creating a custom desk or an organization system. With a table saw to shape your materials, a power drill for easy assembly, and a paint sprayer for a professional finish, you can create a study corner that’s perfect for your little scholar.
3. Organize in Style with Custom Cubbies: School bags, shoes, coats – the start of the school year brings a whirlwind of items into your home. Keep it all in check with a DIY cubby system, tailored to your entryway or hallway. Our saws, drills, and staple guns are ready to aid you in your organization endeavors.
4. Unleash Creativity with a Chalkboard Wall: Who said walls are just for staring at? Transform a common area or your child’s room into an interactive canvas with chalkboard paint. Rent our paint sprayers for an even coat and easy application.
5. Maximize Space with a DIY Loft Bed: For smaller rooms, a loft bed is a game-changer. Use our miter saw, power drill, and router to craft a sturdy loft bed that will give your child more room to play or study.
6. Showcase Achievements with a DIY Bulletin Board: Display important papers, artwork, or that A+ test on a custom-made, large framed cork board. With a miter saw for the perfect frame, a staple gun for attaching the cork, and a paint sprayer or roller for finishing touches, your child’s accomplishments will shine.
7. Score Points with DIY Sports Equipment Storage: Keep sports gear neat and easy to find with a dedicated storage system. Our range of saws, drills, and sanding machines are ready to help you achieve storage victory.
