I know some people won't agree 👇 With the hol I know some people won't agree 👇 With the holiday season, this time of year is full of constant (and typically unnecessary) consumption of physical products. This year, maybe try gifting an experience gift or a digital product that doesn't add to the excessive waste going to landfills, helps a small business, and makes a lasting memory/impact. If you have a maker, DIYer, or woodworker in your life, consider gifting them (or yourself) some DIY plans for an awesome project. It's a non-physical gift that keeps giving (we all know they love having things to build 😆) 🛠 Comment ‘SALE’ for a link to all our DIY plans! *Link to our plans will be sent straight to your DMs. Make sure to check all the folders (ESPECIALLY the requests) and follow @bigliving.littlefootprint first, so messages don't get hidden!*

I'll just be over here giggling because I know we can build cool things that people love and most of these trolls can't! Comment 'COLLECTION' if you want a like to all our cool DIY plans (including this "hotel" headboard 🤣) *Link to our plans will be sent straight to your DMs. Make sure to check all the folders and follow @bigliving.littlefootprint first, so messages don't get hidden!*
I definitely forget until I get to this step 👇 I definitely forget until I get to this step 👇 Or my mind is purposely blocking out the amount of sanding time a project will take 😆 Sanding truly is a key part of any DIY project involving wood. Getting it sanded well ensures a beautiful base for the finish to go on and gives it that buttery smooth feel. 🛠 Comment ‘BASICS’ and I'll send you a detailed How To and our recommended tools for beginners and intermediate DIYers/woodworkers *Link to our plans will be sent straight to your DMs. Make sure to check all the folders and follow @bigliving.littlefootprint first, so messages don't get hidden!*
