One of the reasons why we love DIY projects so much is because they're able to transform seemingly useless or ordinary items into clever end products. Luckily, in this day and age we have the internet to provide us with some inspiration when we're unable to tap into our innovative side. You can use DIY projects for everything from as a way to prep for an unexpected crisis to keeping the kids busy during the summer to updating your backyard furniture. The DIY possibilities are endless.

This DIY solar oven, for example, gives you the ability to cook food and boil water using the sun's energy. It's a cool project for a homesteader or for a prepper who wants to learn how to live in the case of an electricity outage. The best part about this solar oven is that you can make it from a pizza box. Friday night's dinner is easily turned into a clever and useful invention!
