For my daughters, I’m sure, diy is primitive. They are fascinated with the creativity, creativity that comes from making things for themselves. I’m not saying to not make anything, but to make things that look a little simpler and more basic.
I guess, as a parent, it can be a challenge to make things look more complex.
I would like to say that I like diy crafts, but it’s been such a challenge for me to make little things that look more primitive that I think I just don’t like diy. I think I just don’t feel anything. I’d rather just feel like a kid making something. It’s just something that I like to do, but I think because I haven’t been challenged in that way, I just don’t feel it.
Making something really simple has its challenges too, but diy is a good way to get you out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself (especially with the help of the cool stuff). I think a lot of people are intimidated by it, especially little kids. I think the best way to get started is to focus on the steps involved and the end result. As you get better at it your confidence will grow. A lot of people who do diy have bad experiences with it.
Well, I’ve been in this business for about a year now and I’ve been doing my share of DIY projects. I’ve done projects like this one where I made a large DIY-yam, which is like a real Japanese yam but much, much larger. The yam is about 6 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. I made it out of cardboard and wire.
The yam is made with a lot of basic supplies that you can get at most home centers. If you have a lot of time, an hour or so a day, you can make a lot of these. But if you dont have time, you can still do a lot of them, but you need to be disciplined. It takes practice to keep it simple and easy to do.
It’s a pretty easy step to get into. You can buy precut pieces of wood or cardboard at most home centers. Pick out a piece of wood, cut it to size, then nail it into the cardboard. If you don’t have time to do that, you can just cut the cardboard in the first place, and then nail it into the wood. The cardboard is the hardest part, but once you learn to do it, you can make the yam in a few minutes.
The cardboard is actually one of the easiest woodwork projects to get right. It’s not even hard to work with, and you can actually see the progress. It turns out that the cardboard is made from cellulose, which we all know is tough and stiff, but really quite the opposite. It’s actually easier to work with than most cardboard, and you can even cut a piece out with a pair of scissors.
The cardboard is made from cellulose, the same stuff that we all use to make paper. When we break down cellulose and look at it, we see that it is made up of short strands of glucose and manganese that are bound together by a protein. It is made up of a bunch of these tough, tough strands of hard stuff and no one seems to understand how it works.
This is a complicated subject, but if you’re interested, it’s worth reading about it. There’s a great video by the folks over at Instructables about the process that makes cellulose. If you want to try yourself at making your own cellulose, it’s a pretty straight forward process. You’ll need your hands to get the most out of it though because it’s very unforgiving and prone to ripping.
