Gypsie Hammock SwingInstructions by Crafty Goodies
This super amazing DIY boho swing is another one of the most popular projects with our readers!
Making your own swing is easier than it sounds. My neighbor recently made this exact same project for her young daughter and it turned out adorable (I think we need to ask her to sneak a pic for the blog ;).
Making a DIY swing is perfect for decorating your small bedroom and helps save on valuable floor space.
DIY Boho Mobile
The link wasn’t working, so I don’t know who to give credit to for this amazing feather design. I’m hoping it will inspire you to create your own using pliable branches, wire, beads, string and feathers.
You could try wrapping the feather ends with strips of gold duct tape to attach it to the string.
DIY Beaded Boho Pillow
Madi and I just spent 2.5 hrs at the craft store looking for supplies to make a variation of this stunning boho pillow! As soon as she gets it done we’ll post a photo! Starting with basic pillows or pillow covers and adding inexpensive craft store accents is an easy and cheap way to create your own custom DIY boho pillow.
Purchased pillows with all the beads, tassels and gems can get pricey, why not make your own boho pillow with tassels?

DIY Boho Candle Holder

This is another fabulous boho craft idea that’s stylish, quick and cheap. You can easily use a dollar store jar and head to the craft store to get a bag of feathers and glitter ribbon of your choice.
Grouping multiple candle holders of different sizes makes even more of a decorative impact.

Well, I am in my 50s and I love love LOVE your BoHo projects! I’ll be doing a couple of them soon!
Hey, I love these projects. But I wanted to bring up that “G*psy” is actually a racial slur, and shouldn’t be used synonymously with “bohemian”.
Wow you must be some kind of cancel culture SJW to point out something so irrelevant
How on earth would that be the case?? They weren’t the least bit rude, and *maybe* some people don’t already know this. It’s much better to say something than perpetuate not knowing.
Stop it with the “politically correct” crap. Nobody thinks you’re better or more sensitive or more virtuous. You’ve only made yourself look desperate for validation from strangers. Grow up.
