    Do you love the farmhouse style as much as we do? The style is a beautiful blend of simplicity, rustic, and elegance, so it's no wonder it's so popular.

    Instead of spending a fortune on farmhouse decor at your local home goods store, try making some things yourself. 

    Of course you might also get lucky at garage sales, your local flea market, or thrift store, but we'll show you some ways to fake the farmhouse look for less!

    We've compiled a list of beautiful DIY Farmhouse Decor tutorials ranging from easy to a bit more advanced. All are totally doable, though, if you just put in the time and elbow grease.

    From simple chalk-painted mason jars to farmhouse signs and furniture, you'll find at least one project that'll inspire you to make your home a little more beautiful.

    Painted white DIY farmhouse table with stained wood top for children.

    Farmhouse Kids' Table from Our Handcrafted Life: Whether you homeschool, have a crafty kid, or just need a place for the kids to do their homework, this DIY farmhouse table for kids is a great project for the home.

    I feel as if this is right out of an episode of Fixer Upper - it has Joanna Gaines written all over it! It's perfectly sized and, unlike other kids' tables with wild colors and characters on them, this will blend in beautifully with your decor.

    Burlap Wall Hanging from The Country Chic Cottage: This handmade burlap wall decor reads "Welcome to Our Farm," but you can make it say anything you like. The farm printable is the easy way to get the letters just right; all you have to do is place it beneath your burlap and trace the letters. You can make this sign in just an hour or two and enjoy it for years.

    DIY Farmhouse style wall planter made from barn wood, galvanized buckets and greenery.

    Simple Farmhouse Kitchen Planter from Recreated Designs: Small galvanized buckets and reclaimed wood come together to make a simple but stunning planter. The reclaimed wood is a nice, rustic backdrop for the galvanized pails. Plant succulents or artificial plants in the buckets to add a little greenery to your home.

    Pumpkin Bucket from A Night Owl: File this DIY project away for fall. You don't want to miss this rustic pumpkin bucket! It pairs beautifully with white pumpkins and fall florals. You could use this same technique to make a farmhouse-style Christmas tree bucket for the holidays, too.

    Close up image of candle holders made from old Jenga pieces atop a wood slice.

    Easy Farmhouse Candle Holder from Single Girl's DIY: Do you have an old Jenga game that's missing a few blocks? Or perhaps you just don't play the game anymore. Either way, you can paint and use those pieces to make white farmhouse-style candle holders perfectly suited for the dollar store cylinder vases. If you don't have an old Jenga set, pick up a set of the Dollar Tree Tumbling Towers blocks for just a buck to use on this craft.

It's simply gorgeous.
