If you’re anything like me, the craziness of 2020 has motivated me to pick up a plethora of new hobbies. Once the pandemic started, I realized that when I got bored, I would just pick up my phone and doom scroll. I quickly learned that it was not good for my mental health, so I decided to switch up my routine and began exploring different crafts.

Courtney here — and today I’m showing you how to make macrame coasters! This DIY macrame tutorial video. Macrame coasters create the perfect, boho-inspired gift for birthdays, holidays, and even for yourself (we have like ten in our living room!). It’s so cool to me that you can start with just six pieces of string and see it turn into this amazing work of art that’s functional too. I have loved experimenting with different colors and patterns and I’m excited to show you all how to do it!.

The Lazy B*tch's Guide To Valentine DIYs

if you guys haven't already noticed, i am a relatively lazy DIYer. don't get me wrong, i totally love a good DIY project, but i tend to stick to the two extreme ends of the spectrum. which is to say- i'm totally down to spend an entire weekend at home depot buying tons of supplies to make a sick new industrial coffee table from scratch, or i'm diving into something that's gonna take me about a glass of wine to complete. i don't do too well in that middle territory where a project involves a bunch of crazy steps just to create one pot holder, you know? so i figured with valentine's day already hovering in the near future (2017 you can sloooooow down now thanks) i'd share some of my fave easy ideas for fun DIY gifts.
