This pandemic has people stuck at home and bored out of their minds, but you don’t have to just sit there twiddling your thumbs. We have the perfect way to keep yourself occupied during quarantine, in the form of DIY projects you can do right at home.

Here are 12 DIY projects that will make the lockdown more tolerable

Say goodbye to the boredom!

1. Army tank for your cat

“It took me all afternoon but I regret nothing,” wrote one Reddit user after building this cardboard army tank for his cat. The cat doesn’t look the happiest, but maybe he’s just not photogenic.

2. Makeshift stained glass

Stain glass is extremely expensive and even if you can afford it, good luck getting a glass company to come out for installation right now. Do it yourself with some painters tape, and erasable marker. Just make some cool geometrical shapes and you and your family can color them in.

3. Spider prank

This young girl made a life-like tarantula looking spider out of hot glue and paint. She then proceeded to scare her mother half to death. This is a great one, what’s she going to do? Ground her? I don’t think it would make much of a difference in quarantine.

4. Rock climbing wall

This quarantine has some people climbing the walls, literally. Imgur user DukeNukemsDicks, made his very own rock climbing wall inside his home, now that’s creative!

5. New dog house for your pooch

If you have a dog stuck in lockdown with you, why not build him his own comfy space? These people built their dog, Rusty, a brand new custom dog house. It’s fitted with a mailbox, porch light, flower box, sign with his name on it, and, a super fancy door.

6. Movie night

My kids wanted to go to a movie today, so I made a movie theater. (I feel like if journalism doesn’t work out I could make it as, like, a crafty dad blogger.) pic.twitter.com/oC8xQ6QG31

You can’t go to the movies right now, so bring the movies to you! Famous journalist, McKay Coppins, made his own movie night for him and his kids. He even made a treat box full of candy, and his own homemade tickets.

7. Turn your garage into a nightclub

There are tons of people who are really missing their local happy hour, but you can make one in your own home. This person turned their garage into a flashy bar, now they’re ready to party.

8. Missing your favorite restaurant?

When you can’t go to Nando’s for your birthday but your gf has it covered.

This awesome girlfriend felt bad that her man couldn’t go to his favorite restaurant for his birthday, so she brought it to him. She went all out, even making a soda machine out of cardboard. Someone give this lady a girlfriend award!

9. Social distancing spoon

For just the whole amount of your stimulus check, you can get your own social distancing spoon. This guy handcrafted a long wooden spoon, so you can get a taste while keeping a safe distance.

10. Life-size transformer

One kid used his extra time to create the ultimate transformer for a school project. The 6’8″ Megatron took him two weeks, but he’s definitely getting an A+.

11. Make your own puzzle

Puzzles are a great way to pass the time during this quarantine, but what if you don’t have any? Just follow what this person did and build your own, this one’s amazing!

12. Planter boxes

Now is a great time for green thumbs to expand on their planter game, this guy made his own. Don’t forget to put lattice behind them, for any climbing plants you want to grow.
