Proud home crafters show off their best DIY projects on Bored Panda

Home improvements can be a costly feat, with one report suggesting homeowners spent an average of £23,000 on renovating their homes in 2017.

But these crafty creatives have proven you don’t have to flash the cash to update your living space.

A stream of handymen and women have taken to photo sharing site BoredPanda to proudly showcase the fruits of their labour. 

One woman showed off the simple board she had made for her bath, allowing her to take a glass of wine, her phone and even two tealights for a relaxing evening soak. 

Meanwhile a would-be tiler showed off a breathtaking floor which closely resembled an expensive mosaic, but which he had cleverly crafted himself using discarded pennies. 

Elsewhere unsightly piping was turned into a fun climbing wall feature for an inquisitive cat. 

And even showing off their dab hand at exteriors, one handy crafter turned an old table top into a quirky hobbit garden gate.
