Giving your old, unused stuff a new lease on life can be a fun DIY project to undertake. Some people find it therapeutic to transform their old things into a new and exciting addition to their homes, and these pictures prove just how creative some people can get. Maybe they will inspire you to upcycle some of your unused things and create a brand new masterpiece you can be proud of. 

The coronavirus lockdown has inspired people's creativity in many forms. We've shown you many examples of how people are exercising their talents, from experimenting with crazy hairstyles to reenacting iconic movie scenes and recreating famous paintings. But one high school student has really proven her creativity by investing over 395 hours over four months in designing a pandemic-themed prom dress made out of forty-one rolls of Duct Tape. 

Peyton Manker was inspired to create the coronavirus-themed dress because of a contest called 'Stuck At Prom' held by Duck Brand, an American duct tape package supplies and home products organization. The winning prize is a $10,000 scholarship which will be announced by Duck Brand on July 21st. Peyton's hard work is evident in the incredible detail she has incorporated into the gown, such as social distancing designs, pictures of her graduating class, and messages of inspiration. She painstaking cut out all the letters and designs, which she explains in a video about the process of making the dress, on her Facebook page. She invested put many hours into creating pandemic related accessories, including a mask, jewelry, and flowers. Check out her amazing talent and the finished products below. 

One of the good things about being stuck in lockdown is that it gives you more time to do the DIY home improvement projects you've been putting off for all this time. When people get creative in their homes, the results can be stunning. These pictures show some inspirational transformations people have made within their homes, using before and after pictures to demonstrate their handiwork. 

One of the most (relatively) devastating effects of Coronavirus has been the closing of all bars and pubs. Although this has been felt everywhere, the British public is understandably one of the most hard-hit nations when it comes to the loss of social drinking. Some are wallowing in their sadness and waiting for the pubs to reopen. But others are taking matters into their own hands and implementing drastic action to get their alcohol fix. One family in Wigan, U.K., hired Octavia Chic to construct a pub in their backyard so they wouldn't have to wait until the lockdown is over. The results are even better than you could imagine, and judging by the pictures Octavia Chic uploaded to their Facebook page (featured below), they're going to get many more orders just like that one!

One way to get through quarantine is by doing jobs around the house that you've been putting off forever. Whether it's clearing out the attic, or repurposing old items, now is the time to get busy. These people are upcycling their old items into totally different things, giving them a fresh lease of life and a new purpose. Check them out for some inspiration on how you can transform your old stuff!

Being stuck at home right now means that we don't have access to many of the services that we're dependent on, like schools, gyms and beauty salons. And while homeschooling, doing home workouts and painting your own nails aren't ideal, they're still manageable for the hopefully, short term future. But some services, such as getting a haircut, really need to be left to the professionals because they're just to easy to mess up. These people learned that lesson the hard way, and are probably regretting their DIY chops.   

Let's be real... We all love baths. Sure by the time we settle into one something disturbs us and its out of the bath. But, for those moments when we are able to just soak in and let go of all our worries, it really is just the best. Even better? When you add a bath bomb to it! 

We aren't saying you now should go out and buy this. It's so easy you can make it at home! 

Let us be very honest. Art is not something everyone can do. These Reality Vs Expectation Pictures Show it Ain't Easy.
