Get the Cottagecore aesthetic with these simple TikTok DIYs

The Cottagecore trend is a GenZ favorite, drawing on themes of agricultural life, nature, and rural sustainability (often even in urban apartments). Here’s how to incorporate this laid-back thrifty look in your home.

1. Create a Cottagecore gallery wall from thrifted frames.

Longtime friends and business partners Becky Wright and Kelsey MacDermaid have been tackling everything from DIY projects to dorm room makeovers for more than 10 years on their wildly popular YouTube channel, The Sorry Girls. Now the creative duo are offering up bite-sized versions of their best interior design advice on TikTok, including a tool-free and dorm-friendly way to create a Cottagecore gallery wall from thrifted art and frames.

2. Bend your candles for a Cottagecore aesthetic.

You’ve probably seen the trendy bendy candles all over your Instagram and Pinterest, but this Cottagecore trend is easier to achieve than it looks. Self-proclaimed “bendy candle guy” @giovanni_pastrami shows you the candle shaping process from start to finish in this simple DIY.

3. Use wildflowers and Mod Podge to create a work of art.

Handmade objects and natural elements are a must to achieve the Cottagecore aesthetic, and @emilyabrams24 shows you just how fun it can be. Using pressed wildflowers and Mod Podge, she creates affordable art with an antique, rural look.
