I love handmade items from crochet items to beautiful DIY furniture projects. I wanted to try my hands in DIY furniture as I have a single bedside table that needs some makeover. So like many of us, I head over to Pinterest to find some ideas and I was awestruck by many IKEA hacks especially by the Ikea Rast Hacks.

It looks like Ikea Rast is the most hackable dresser. Well, all Ikea items are like a plain canvas where we can go wild with our creative ideas.

Ikea gives you a clean, affordable furniture item that itself looks elegant but if you have itchy hands and creative mind then you can make many boutique items from it. But, there is a big BUT, not all of us are creative or have enough time to think about creative furniture DIY ideas that’s why I collected some fantastic Ikea DIY ideas from online and present it to you here.

This list has 9 such beautiful DIY IKEA Rust hacks that changed simple rust or a dresser to an elegant piece of furniture. These hacks are not only applicable to IKEA Rast but you can apply it on any piece of furniture.

If you were to buy these items from a store, it gonna cost a big $$ but with these Ikea hacks you can turn your basic Ikea dresser into an amazing pice at a very reasonable price.
