Have you ever run out of ideas for things to make… or you had an idea but it felt too difficult so you never even tried? In this video I break down 4 simple ways I use to come up with solid DIY project ideas (especially for cardboard builds) without staring at a blank wall. The goal is to get you generating ideas on demand—and actually building them. First, I show you how to “solve a problem” by asking three questions: what would make your life easier, what annoys you, and what could you make to help with what you’re doing right now. Then we talk about “stealing ideas” (yeah, I said it)—using that Picasso mindset: great artists copy, good artists steal. That means looking at products you could build instead of buy, improving things you already own, and using inspiration you see online or at a friend’s house. After that, I remind you to just have fun—build the thing you’ve always wanted, like a prop from a show or movie (I’ve got Mandalorian/Star Wars stuff for a reason). Finally, I explain why asking other people is critically important, because it’s easy to get locked into one idea when you’re only working from your own experiences.
