This category contains all posts under “DIY”. These are do-it-yourself projects for all ages and all skill levels. Most of these DIY projects can be done in a single afternoon, or over a weekend. Many of them include skills that can help you on your crafting journey, too!

“Do it yourself” is a term used for any project that is done by you. It’s often used in terms of house building or repairs, but can mean any crafting project! DIY projects are a lot of fun to do, and will give you a great sense of accomplishment when you’ve finished them.

Following The Confounded Crafter’s love of great gifts, a crafted gift means so much more than a bought one. What better way to show your love than to make a gift yourself? Try out one of these crafts, and build up your awesome creative skills. Your next gift is sure to bring a smile to your loved one’s face!
