READ MORE ABOUT:
The blogosphere is full of how-to sites—as a quick read of our archive will prove—that are tailored to specific interests: crafters, techies, home decorators, design mavens. But we love ReadyMade simply because it has something for everyone, whether you want to make a chandelier from old bottles, grow your own garden, or DIY some furniture.
How to Use ReadyMade
The archive—accessible via tabs on the homepage and marked with both skill level and time commitment icons on each plan—is one of your main sources for projects and ideas; search using keywords in categories including "Eat It," "Light It," "Wear It," "Sew It," and "Celebrate It," while photos of each finished product get your creative gears turning. The frequently-updated ReadyMade editors blog offers a more in-depth look at the world of "people who make things and the culture of making," like weekly interviews that ask creative types "How Did You Get That F*#%ing Awesome Job?" and recipes for Irish Brown Bread. The Resources section dishes out handy tricks and household tips, and for longer articles, check the online version of the print magazine.
What You'll Find on ReadyMade
You can use this site to learn how to do, well, pretty much whatever you can think of. Plan a modern picnic? Check. Weave coasters? Check. Make over your bedroom, find new uses for kosher salt, and tailor a t-shirt? Check, check, and check. No matter what kind of maker you want to be, ReadyMade can help you get there.
