About Me
THIS ALL STARTED OUT OF COMPLETE BOREDOM...
When COVID hit, I almost lost it. Not because of the world going mad, but because I was bored out of my mind. I downloaded TikTok to keep my mind preoccupied, and because I’m a millennial. I did a few trends, tried a few dances, but really, I love to inspire and make people laugh. I was trying to find my niche. I remembered watching my first DIY video on TikTok and thought, how hard could it be? But I’m Afrikaans and wanted to cater to my fellow Afrikaans speaking audience. So out of that my beautiful mess, that I know call The DIY Studio was born. It's a DIY page that is built on anglicism, with a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of curse words, when the frustration intervenes.
The date was October 19th, 2020. I finished compiling all my snippets into one video. Let’s just keep in mind that 1min videos are extremely hard to put together
without losing too much information. I decided to do a voice over to finish off my video, for those who might need a little bit more than just a trending sound and me showing you how to. I hit post on my very first DIY Video and my heart started throbbing in my throat. It’s daunting to share your creativity with others.
Within a few hours my video reached 10k views and I was over the moon to say the least. It was more like an adrenaline rush and my creative endorphins were peaking at 100.
Then it hit me, my purpose was to bring inspiration into your home through art, craft, and DIY. To hopefully help you, find your purpose through my feel-good step-by-step projects.
What you will find is my love for all that is beautiful in one place. My shop is extremely versatile and consists of everything that I love to make, and hopefully you will find something you need too, right here in one spot.
