Projects To DIY For

 • 

The festive season may be officially done and dusted for another year, but don’t let that put the brakes on your giving spirit! Passing on a little something handmade from one friend to the other is a perennial tradition if you ask us, and there’s no better way to share the love than with a DIY project or two. If you’re seeking inspiration, Green Villages and Etsy have teamed up to launch To DIY For, a campaign with giving at its heart and plenty of activities to keep your fingers occupied. There are some truly inspired gift ideas available, all presented with easy-to-follow instructions and YouTube demos. Weave a macrame plant holder or try your hand at a terrarium or cloth wrapping. There’s no better time for DIY than the present!
