Cheap Ideas For Home Improvement Videos

Make home improvement easier for others by making a video.

A home improvement video can convey this fact nicely by offering instructions on using a few inexpensive materials and displaying an eye for detail for using them. A big impact, low-cost home improvement video is always a hit with the do-it-yourself crowd.


Brown Paper Bag Wallpapering


The brown paper bag wallpapering technique is rich looking when complete. It entails the tearing of the bags and wallpapering the small pieces to give leatherlike texture to the walls. It is a technique that is so appealing for both elegant looks and low cost. A video that instructs the technique from start to finish will come in handy for this project, which can be intimidating to undertake.


Crinkled Paper Painting


Painting can add the biggest bang for the buck when decorating inexpensively. The crinkled paper painting technique is a cheap way to make your walls look like textured fabric, but only if it is done correctly. Providing instructions on a home improvement video will entice the viewer to give it a try.


Faux Stair Treads


Nothing jazzes up a home more than painting life back into a mundane stairway. Wooden stairs painted with faux stair treads is another cheap project to do. Outside stairs can be perked up with paint that has an added texture that allows grip for your foot traffic. This cheap project video can instruct on the different designs and techniques used to make the stairs around your home eye catching and safe.


Outside Living Space


Creating an outside living space or patio can be as simple and inexpensive as laying down a slab of cement. This is a cheap project to offer on your home improvement video. You can even add instructions on stamp the cement with patterns that look like stone or brick. Show the viewer add cheap coloring to cement and explain how cheap doesn't necessarily mean bland.


Bathroom Carpet Tiles


Put down a cheap floor covering of carpet tiles in a bathroom for your home improvement video. Although it is advertised as easy by most manufactures of the textile squares, there is a knack to making it look professionally done. Explain the preparation for the floor that you need to do before starting this project and show all the different cuts that need to be applied to fit the tiles snuggly up against the wall and around the bathroom fixtures.
