Nowadays, it seems like you can find anything and everything on social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, it's all out there for the world to see. One of my personal favorite forms of personal media is Pinterest-a photo sharing website that allows its users to "pin" things they have found on other sites. They can include anything from hair styles to articles of clothing to quotes. People can follow their friends and "re-pin" whatever catches their eye.
Anyone familiar with Pinterest knows that it is ripe with Do It Yourself activities, or DIYs, from making your own clothes to cute house decorating projects. But are they all as easy as they seem? The articles may promise quick assembly with only basic skills required, but the true test is if someone as uncoordinated and anti-craft minded as me can do it. And through this blog I will be putting them to that test. Keep in mind I am like your average person, the extent of my crafting was art class in kindergarten and late night public television shows. Before I came up with the idea for this blog, the closest thing I had to DIY pinned on my Pinterest boards were recipes for food that looked delicious but I knew I would never make.
I will be uploading at least 2 blogs a week. My goal is to post a new blog every Wednesday and Sunday to keep them balanced. Some posts will be small individual crafts, while others could be one of many blogs if I'm involved in a larger project. Hopefully there will be a mixture of both so I can get a full range of crafts. To keep the posts diverse, I will do a variety of things found on Pinterest, including hair and nail tutorials, home beauty and illness remedies, and do-it-yourself crafts. I am also open to suggestions, so if you have any interesting tutorials that you've seen on Pinterest, or anywhere on the internet, comment below so I can check them out!
My Pinterest is already full of possibilities for this blog and I've got my hot glue gun standing at the ready. I have a Pinterest board that is dedicated solely to what will eventually be included in my blog so if you want to check out the board to see what I have planned you can find the link here. Feel free to follow the board to stay up to date on what's coming up!
Let's get crafty everyone.
