If you’ve ever visited the Etsy website, you probably saw a bunch of DIY handcrafted items for sale. From handmade soaps and candles and golden jewelry to epoxy furniture, DIY has become a global phenomenon that you can take advantage of while stuck in your house or just because. Don’t forget to make sure your home is pest-free so you know you are doing your projects in a safe place.
The interest in DIY activities has become so huge that the revenue for DIY tools is expected to hit $13.9 billion in 2021. Social media pages are filled with images of handcrafted items, and while DIYers are looking to earn some money, there’s the other side of the coin—it’s a fun activity, especially for millennials.
The variety of DIY activities allows anyone to start doing it. And whatever’s made along the process doesn’t have to be sold—you can simply enjoy its beauty. There’s a project for every budget. It can be something small, like making soaps from soap remains, to building a treehouse. Even better, anyone can take part in it, even whole families.
