Do you DIY?

Hi! My name is Amy and I run Don’t Panic Design on Etsy.  I specialize in printable invitations and organizing printables. I have a decade of experience in print, I am a self-taught designer, and I know a little bit about of lot of other stuff.  I DIY stuff too, like: shampoo bars, soap and deodorant, laundry detergent. I paint old furniture and build other pieces.  I re-purpose used things into new things.  I thrift shop for treasures, and half the time I find one.

Do you do it yourself?
Many people are turning turning a DIY eye towards their lives and homes. But there are a lot of levels of DIY.  You may start from scratch and follow through to the end, learning a lot along the way, you may want something more stylish or customized to your needs and aesthetic, or you may just want a little more control over use. The good news? There are tons of options to learn how to do anything, or seek out the help you need when you need it. There are so many options out there it must be almost impossible to not get what you want.

Somehow, somewhere, there is something for everyone out there, and you can find it.
