Have you ever gone into a home and loved the decor so much…before realizing you could never afford half of it? The good news is that you can often (and easily) make something that looks just as amazing and if not more beautiful and unique to your home than what you would find in a large, stuffy retail store.

This DIY rainbow rope bowl will brighten any room in need of a cute tabletop bowl. A few drops of salt and cotton dye into some boiling water, and you’ve made yourself a rainbow. Soon people will be asking you where you got your decor and you’ll be able to tell them it’s one of a kind. And that, my friends, is priceless.
