If you’re the kind of crafty project lover who loves to keep on tops of trends in fashion and the DIY world, then we have no doubt that you’re probably just as obsessed with holographic things right now as we are! The fact that there are so many shining pieces to buy in stores makes us happy, but it also motivates us to figure out a way to make our own holographic inspired things at home.

Just in case you’re as determined to try your hand at holographic DIY projects as we were, if not more, here are 15 of the very best ideas that we’ve come across so far in our search for inspiration!
