My first ever post in 2021 and I wish you guys a great year. This week, I’m going to start with something that going to help you. Usually, I would start the week posting about a DIY project, and posts like this are shared at the end of every week. And talking about a DIY project, today I’m going to talk about something related. This is How to get nice and new DIY project ideas.
However, I’m going to flip the table for this week haha. I’m trying to set a stack of ideas for DIY projects. Until then, there will be more related posts to DIY. Stay tuned for future posts!
Today’s post will focus on something important and mostly something we tend to struggle with. Talking about me, I have always struggled with it until I followed these steps and it helped me a lot. It made it easier.
As you know if you have read my previous posts, I started sharing tips and things to help with DIY projects. If you looking for more things to learn, make sure to check them out after this one.
However, I like to share my experiences to help others and this is what this post will be. Things I figured out by myself that worked for me. And I would like to know if it will work for you as well. Share your thoughts in the comment section.

How to get nice and new DIY project ideas
Sometimes we get lost thinking of an idea to do at home, and it happened to me many times. But over time, I started to understand how to organize it and speed up the process.
I used to spend a lot of time just to figure out something to do. So I decided to improve my skills and fix it because I don’t want to consume more time on this than it needed haha.
Also, if you notice, I changed the post style for this post. I honestly think that I’m still a noob in the blogging community haha. However, I will try my best to improve this one as well haha.
There will be a lot of new things this year. Hopefully, I can also get my workshop and start upgrading my old projects haha. It’s been a long time since I had this idea in my mind. But it still residing in my mind lol
Anyways, There could many things that could help and the list goes on forever. However, for me, I’m going to mention three things that it helped with figuring out a DIY project.
As I said in my previous tips and things I shared. I like to share things that can help as many as possible and this one is also one of them. In my opinion, it can be followed even if you are not doing what I do. Which you know later in the post.
Alright, I hope you enjoy reading How to get nice and new DIY project ideas. And get something from it. Also, make sure to share if you have struggled and what did you do in the comment. I like to know more.
1-Determine the materials
Well, I know this is obvious, but it’s very important. Sometimes we get lost thinking of ideas. And returning the first point which knowing what we going to use. Determine which materials we will use.
Also, sometimes you already have in mind what you going to use. And that means this step is complete. But if you feel lost thinking of a DIY idea, this is will be the best thing to start with.
Determine what you can or want to use to make the project at home. Usually, things that possible to make projects out of and available if you don’t want to spend to get them.
This also opens for you many things that you can do if you know what you going to use. In my case, I use cardboard and paper.
2-Specify the purpose of the project
Even though I already have what I’m going to use in front of me. I still get lost. Because I don’t know what to do, you know haha. DIY bloggers will understand the struggle the most and the people who do this more often as well.
It feels like you are everywhere and don’t know where to land or start. This will take longer than it needed. But, I found the perfect solution for it.
Take a deep breath and specify what do you really want to do it. There are a lot of things to choose from, but it depends on your choice.
For example, do you want to build a decoration or something useful that helps you in daily life? and things like this. It’s okay to take time, but you know where you going, you know.

3-Build the project in your imagination
Now that you have everything ready. This is where the most time you will spend. Also, these depend on your choices and materials available at the time you want to do the project.
For example, if you chose a decoration, what kind of decoration you want. Where you want to put it after you build it and things like this. It gives you a clear way to make a great DIY project.
I also said this in my previous posts but it’s different. In this one, you imagine the finished project and not the steps. Which gives you an idea of how you going to make it.

Great tips on how to get new ideas & then to figure out how to execute them this year. I am not going to lie, I am a dreamer so building projects in my mind are very easy. But I personally struggle with execution. I was never really taught how to do the actually building or creating. Plus I have shiny object syndrome so often I start and then…..what? Sorry got distracted! haha, But seriously, I probably need to get better as setting my purpose & adding weight to that purpose so I can finally finish!
Thank you! It is a struggle to execute the plan haha. It’s okay, you can!!
I like seeing your process for creating these very cool crafty items that you have been posting about, You have a great mind for this. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! I know right! It’s behind the scene of how things were done haha.
I always use my imagination to build the project but when I put it in reality it isn’t the same, always hahaha
