Start with smaller repairs
If you’re new to DIY projects, start with small repairs like fixing a leak or replacing a light switch. These small repairs will help build your confidence and let you start taking on some bigger projects.
Invest in some tools
To get started on DIY projects, invest in some tools like a hammer, screwdrivers, a saw and a measuring tape. These tools will come in handy for most repairs around the house and plenty of projects along the way.
Learn from online sites
The internet is full of resources for DIY projects. Watch tutorials on YouTube, read blogs, and check out some project channels on TV too, you can see all sorts of awesome projects on there.
Attend workshops
Many home improvement stores offer workshops and classes on DIY projects, you can use these to get hands on experience from Joinery to electrics and more.
Ask for help
Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Ask a friend or family member who is handy around the house to show you how to do something that you aren’t confident with, or to guide you through it and teach you.
Safety first
Always prioritize safety when doing DIY projects. Wear protective gear like gloves and if you’re doing something with a lot of debris, wear steel boots and maybe even glasses.
