If you’ve got wood or particle board furniture, a drill, and a free afternoon, you can transform boring or beat-up furniture into eye-catching pieces of DIY art!

Want to give it a try? You’ll love this easy-to-customize and easy-to-follow tutorial for how to cross-stitch your furniture from Mollie Makes.

One of my favorite things about cross-stitch is that the designs can range from cute and twee to bold and geometric to geeky and pixelated, so there’s something to fit the style of just about everyone and every home. So, even if flowers and frippery aren’t your thing, this project still might be right for you — just look for a pattern that’s more up your alley, or grab a pad of graph paper and some colored pencils and design your own!
