Do it yourself (DIY) projects are cheap ways to express creativity and pass time. They can be fun or challenging and provide the satisfaction of saying, “I made it” when people ask about the result. Here are five websites that are worth visiting when in search of the perfect “DIY” project.
On this website, users can post many different crafting ideas and explain how they did it to guide others. On each tutorial pictures are posted for a step by step process that can be helpful to follow. There are different categories ranging from technology to food that are fun to explore and various contests available to enter your latest DIY. This website is perfect for a crafter looking for challenges and ways to express their ideas with others.
A well known and popular site, Pinterest is what many crafters are drawn to when looking for ideas to inspire a new project. With the high user rate, people can search through a plethora of crafting ideas whether it be furniture, clothing or different ideas like a stuffed manatee made out of a used t shirt. This website makes it simple to organize all ideas for current and future projects by “pinning” them onto a board.
Looking for a way to spruce up a bland bedroom? This website specializes in various ideas for home decorating. Ranging from table decorations to electrical help, this website is full of useful ideas and tips that will make your home look and function much better.
This website is most suitable for the more experienced. This website provides tutorials for random but useful projects such as how to make fake snow or how to make a glowing light bulb without electricity. However, many of the projects are more advanced, especially with technology and some lack step by step instruction. While fun to browse and get ideas, this website is not where to look for a simple project.
Known for crafting ideas that are conscious of the environment, this website prides themselves in “going green.” They encourage renewal projects through “upcycling” old or unwanted items for another use rather than wasting them. The projects are cheap and range in levels of difficulty making it easy to use for beginners and experienced alike.
