Words like handmade, DIY (Do It Yourself) or craft have been around a lot for some time now. Some believed it to be a fad, but after several years, it seems that this trend is here to stay.
And if DIY takes over, I don't even want to tell you about Instagram. It is one of the fastest growing social networks and has one of the most active user communities.
If we combine the two things, we have the perfect way to be inspired and give us a boost of creativity and a showcase where we can share our projects with like-minded people who appreciate this type of work.
If you love Instagram and DIY…
…You can't unfollow the following accounts:
@abeautifulmess
This account is run by two sisters, Elsie and Emma, founders of the blog “A Beautiful Mess”. With almost half a million followers, on this account you will find endless inspiration for projects related to everything handmade.
But if your thing, rather than being inspired, is to inspire, know that you can appear on their Instagram, since they regram on their account those images that they like and fit their style. To help you, you can use the following hashtags:
#abmlifeiscolorful // #abmhappylife // #abmhappyhour // #abmcrafty // #abmlifeissweet // #abmstyle // #abmspaces

So if you dare to do something, it looks great on you and you use the hashtag #psimadethis, you might end up in their feed and the world will see your creation.
@2ndfunniestthing
FREE TUTORIAL BAR + MODERNETE RECYCLING + DIY WORKSHOPS. This is how Marta Barberà defines her Instagram account.

@diy
With more than half a million followers, on this Instagram profile you will find projects of all kinds that you can do at home. The only drawback is that the instructions are in English, but it is also true that many of the processes are very well understood just from the photos.
With this I am going to end today's article, as I am sure you have many photos to gossip about and creativity to fuel. Of course, a warning to sailors: when you start creating with your hands, sometimes it is difficult to stop!
