Dirty Jeans DIY was born from a desire to craft for the sake of joy and nothing more.
Having spent my childhood and teenage years making zines, collages and scrapbooks, somehow in my 20s I forgot how to enjoy these crafty moments.
Uninspired by traditional mindfulness practices, I found myself looking to my younger self for ideas. I found inspiration and unbridled joy in crafts that remind me of my childhood: bright colours, maximalism, imperfection.
Fuelled by nostalgia and making things just for the sake of making them, Dirty Jeans DIY was born.
