First up, use colorful faux leather fabric to create cute tassel keychains. In their tutorial, they used a polyurethane and recycled-leather blend in a pop of colors like coral, orange and persimmon. After getting the fabric, all you’ll need is a couple of flat split key rings in your desired size, spray mount, hot glue and a pair of scissors. After seeing the end result, you might just want to make a few more for customized gift ideas for friends and family.

Create a faux leather pencil cup with this fun, family-friendly DIY project. In this tutorial, the designer chose a bold piece of faux leather in blue and then wrapped it around a pencil holder. Let your imagination run wild and apply a unique, stand-out pattern with crafts paint and stamps. This wildly fun DIY is definitely one of those simple projects that yields incredible, one-of-a-kind results.

Get a head start on your back to school planning this year by creating a color-blocked faux leather clipboard. Take those boring clipboards and get ready to give them a fresh new look of their own. Choose two to three contrasting colors, like pink, yellow and navy, for this refreshing makeover. HGTV has several printable templates you can use to complete this awesome DIY project.

For these last two projects, you can use faux leather in practically any shade or hue. For an effortless way to store your jewelry, try using a simple tray. Spice things up by lining the tray with silver faux leather to create your own unique jewelry holder. If you’ve got a few hours to spare, revamp a set of drawers with faux leather, such as on a nightstand.
