The Best DIY Shows To Up Your Skills In The Downtime

From makeup to interior design, we've got you covered.

This whole self-isolation thing has got us looking for inspiration. With most of us working from home and no longer doing the commute to work, we’ve got so much more time on our hands. As a result, we’re feeling more creative and inspired.

For more ways to make your quarantine more creative, make sure you check out this episode of It’s Been A Big Day For…

To channel this creativity, we thought we’d give you a list of the best DIY shows to watch so that you can up your skills in areas you might not be so good at! 

‘Glow Up’ For Make-Up Skills

DIY Show: Glow Up

If you’ve ever walked into Sephora or Mecca and realised you have absolutely no idea what you’re doing, we’ve got the show for you. Glow Up takes a whole bunch of aspiring make-up professionals through a variety of challenges that explore the ins and outs of the cosmetics industry. Never has a show been so inspiring and so intense at the same time. 

‘Bon Appetit’ For Cooking Tips

DIY Show: Bon Appetit

As someone who is addicted to food but couldn’t cook to save a life, I highly recommend this one. Available on YouTube, this cooking series is perfect to binge-watch because it’s free! Make sure you check out the list of our favourite episodes if you’re not sure where to start. Will I make my very own gourmet version of sour patch kids? Of course not. But, am I impressed and inspired? You betcha!

‘Tidying Up with Marie Kondo’ For Cleaning Hacks

DIY Show: Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

Have you been craving a reality show that teaches you cleaning hacks whilst also making you bawl your eyes out? We got you! Marie Kondo is a best-selling author and a cleaning icon. Watch as she helps people throw out a lotta junk and pretty much everything that doesn’t “spark joy”. And if you feel inspired to clean your house, follow our advice first!

‘Tiny House Nation’ For Interior Design Tricks

DIY Show: Tiny House Nation

If you live in the CBD, say no more, we have the show for you. We know your house/apartment is small, but don’t let that stop you from achieving your dream renovation. Interior design experts, John Weisbarth and Zack Giffin travel across the States to show off amazingly decorated small spaces. It’s not your typical design show, but that’s what makes it amazing. 

‘Next In Fashion’ For Fashion Help

DIY Show: Next In Fashion

Have you always wanted to make your own clothes? Have you vowed to avoid fast-fashion? Are you struggling to afford new clothes? Then, do we have a show for you! This tv series doesn’t exactly show you how to make your own clothes, but it certainly helps take you through the process of design. As aspiring fashion designers from all around the world compete for $250,000 USD, A-games are brought and inspiration is sparked. 

Be creative and stay inspired with these DIY shows!
