Reel IdeasVideo ideas for diy, craft and home
Ideas for crafts, repairs and home upgrades.
DIY videos work when the result is clear in the first seconds and the steps are easy to copy. Show the tools, the cost and the time. Safety first: tell viewers to take care with sharp tools and electricity.
Show the finished thing first, then the steps. People stay to see how it was made.

Making them work
Pick one idea, write a hook line and the three parts of the video (see reel structure), then film it in one go in good light. Post it with a clear caption, and check how it did after a few days. Keep an idea list so that you never start the week with a blank page.
Questions people ask
Do I need to follow the idea exactly?
No. Use it as a starting point and put your own place, product and voice into it. The same idea looks different when you do it.
How do I start a video?
Open with a hook. See our question hooks and promise hooks.
