🌍 🪵 July Contest: Native Goods | Natural Materials 🪨 🪶
Hint: Leave a comment and
win a share of the post rewards!
Welcome to our July Contest!
This month, we continue our journey into more natural and simple creations, dear DIYHubers! It’s time to get your hands on raw elements and craft something unique with this month’s theme:
Native Goods 🌿
We want to highlight an amazing post by @calendulacraft which inspired us for this month's theme. You should definitely watch it to get inspired and enjoy the calming mood. We doubt that someone of you will build a house from natural materials in only a month but maybe it can inspire you to go out and search for materials in nature 🌳
And now before we go into this beautiful new theme, let’s check the results of our Recycling DIY contest from June!
June Recycling DIY ContestReview of the Previous Contest
We really loved your creativity once again! So many of you shared amazing recycling projects that were not only smart but also inspiring. From simple decorations to things we can really use at home: Your ideas showed how much beauty is possible when we give old things a new purpose.
This time we also saw that many entries were very well explained and practical - thank you! But we keep reminding everyone: please use materials wisely. Creating things is beautiful, but waste is not. Let’s always try to be thoughtful with what we use and how. DIYs that serve a purpose, going over the decorative aspect, are highly appreciated!
This new contest is the perfect chance to explore the gifts from nature in your projects. Let's do it together!
Big thanks to everyone who joined:

selected by @rezoanulvibes
Indeed it is!
I will definitely join this one, perhaps with few entries as I am very deep rooted in nature & living in countryside, into primitive building / diy with and from clay, wood and so on… doing as much as I can with the resources that are available for free from Mother Earth. Therefore, this theme is right down my heart / street. My enthusiasm is up to the sky & rooted deep in the ground. Thank you @diyhub for considering such a cool contest for this month!
All the best! Looking forward to see everyone’s entries & good luck for everyone!
May we all find our ways back to a natural life. 💚
Congrats to the winners,@bimpcy @fixie @stefany0720 👏✨
The new theme of the month has a lot to inspire, so from now on I will start thinking about things I could do.
That's great. Looking forward to seeing your participation in the contest!
