All things homemade are in style right now, and the trend is encompassing everything from interior design to announcements, everyday objects, greetings cards and birthday cards. Workshops, courses, tutorials and podcasts are popping up everywhere, providing inspiration and explaining how to get started with DIY.
Do It Yourself, also known as DIY, is more popular than ever, but what started the trend? Immerse yourself in this creative hobby and a universe of endless possibilities!
More than just an entertaining hobby, the new wave of DIY gives its practitioners the chance to nurture their artistic side and create their own everyday objects like furniture, beauty products or even personalised ornaments for the house. It's a fun approach, ideal for designing unique and original ornaments that you won’t find anywhere else.
This movement is not a particularly new phenomenon, with its roots found in the 1960s in the United States. A hippie community that wanted to combat consumerism with a more sustainable vision created its own publication, which was a mix of advice, images, articles and small announcements made using only what they had to hand. This community was proposing an alternative vision of modern consumption.
The hobby lets your imagination run wild and unrestricted and in doing so, your mind develops a multitude of new ideas, each one more original than the last.
The reasons behind the current DIY trend are quite interesting. We are always pressed for time and it is so much easier to go to a shop and make a quick purchase. So why are more and more people deciding to take the time to do things themselves? Here are what we think are the advantages of this fun pastime!
