11 Kirkland's Home Decor Dupes You Can DIY at Home

1. Floral wood plaque

To replicate this floral wood plaque, I used an old piece of wood that I had in the garage and painted it navy blue. I laid out my first layer of petals in a design that I liked and used wood glue to secure them in place. Then I let it dry overnight. 

To create the second layer of petals, I used two-sided foam adhesive pads and wood glue. I cut the adhesive pads into small squares and attached them to the outer tip of the petal. This allowed the petal to lay flat on the plaque.

When a pedal went beyond the edge of the plaque, I marked it with a pencil and cut along that line using my shears. Although the Kirkland’s plaque is larger, mine has that rustic charm that you only get from using an old piece of wood.

2. Wooden necklace display

I always buy display stands any time I see them at the thrift store, so I have a bunch of them. I started by cutting one ring off a wire wreath form. I gathered some wood sticks that I had. I marked down one inch on each of the sticks and then drilled a hole all the way through. 

I did this to eleven sticks. I put the largest stick in the middle and arranged the remaining sticks in descending size on either side of the middle stick. I ran the wire ring through the hole in each of the sticks. 

Then I added some wooden beads on either side of the sticks. I used hot glue to attach some twine to the metal ring. I chose not to paint mine gray because I prefer the natural wood tones.

3. Hanging bud vases

I removed the backs from some small frames and drilled a hole large enough to thread twine through each frame. I bought some little glass bottles and tied a piece of twine around the top of each.

I threaded the twine through the frame and tied a knot to hold it in place. I used wood glue, and painter's tape to secure the frames together until the glue dried.

4. Decorative vases

I decided to combine the speckled look of the fat vase and the two-tone look of the tall vase. I taped it around an old bottle that I had. I applied Mod Podge to the bottom of the bottle and sprinkled Epsom salt over it. I let it dry for an hour. I removed the tape and sprayed a clear topcoat over the entire bottle.

5. Rope-handled vases

I sprayed the pitcher with a sensor primer. Once that dried, I went over it with a satin topcoat. I used hot glue to attach and wrap the twine around the handle.

6. Carved wood sculpture

To create the stand, I unscrewed the top plate of a thrifted candle holder. I took a piece of driftwood and hammered a rod into the hollow end. Then I drilled a hole the size of the rod on the candlestick holder. I glued it together and painted the stand black.

7. Whitewashed wood pedestal bowl

I used a ceramic candlestick I had lying around and turned it upside down. I inserted a piece of curtain rod that I sanded down to fit inside. I drilled a hole through a bowl and a rod, applied glue, and attached the two pieces together using a screw.

I painted a brown, wood-colored base. Once that dried I painted over the brown with white paint. Then I distressed the base and sprayed on a matte topcoat.

8. Decorative mask

I found this mask at a thrift store. For the stand, I used a wood coaster stand I had. I turned it upside down, marked the center, and drilled a hole the size of my rod.

I drilled another hole in the base of the mask. I painted the base and the rod black. Then I attached all three pieces together using wood glue. I applied clear wax on the base and the dowel rod.

9. Antique scale

I found two small candle plates and drilled three holes in each of them. I took the chains off two hanging baskets and attached them to the metal trays using black florist wire.

I used a thrifted candle stand for the base. I drilled the top hole so my rod would fit. I painted the rod and base with two coats of black chalk paint. I added beads to the tips of the rods and the top of the base. I distressed it and applied a coat of clear wax.

10. Beaded baskets

I took the handles off a wicker basket. I strung wooden beads on a long piece of florist wire. Using a large needle and wire, I sewed the string of beads to the top of the basket. I tied off the wire every third or fourth bead all around the top of the basket.

11. Wooden sculpture set

I used driftwood to make miniature wood sculptures. For the bases, I used some wood scraps drilling a hole in the center of each base and at the bottom of each piece of driftwood to fit my rod. I assembled the pieces with wood glue. I painted the scrap of wood black and added some decorative elements to each piece.
