​​DIY inspiration on Instagram

DIY projects can be fun, inspiring, and help you save some money. It’s also good to surround yourself with things that have memories, stories, or emotions attached to them rather than things that are store bought and don’t have anything else apart from aesthetic value. If you’re looking for ideas on how to spruce up your living room or get crafty in the kitchen, check out some of these DIY Instagram accounts. A fair warning though, you will be scrolling for hours on end if you don’t set a screen time limit for yourself before you start exploring.
