Build a Wooden Laptop Stand
Most laptop stands that you can find on the markets nowadays may function properly but most of the time, it’s hard to find the one that is beautiful enough to be used in your house.

If you lack decorations in your house and you have no idea what to make to decorate your house, then you should probably check this one out. Just like the rest of the projects, this one is pretty simple and quite straightforward to do and it could be a lot more beautiful if you have a sufficient creativity level.
All you need for this project is a jar, a hot glue gun, some water, a small miniature from a dollhouse, and last but not least, some fake snow. By using a hot glue gun, stick the miniature to the bottom of the jar lid and stuff all the fake snow in the jar. Then pour in some water and you’re done.
