Maggie McGaugh is Showing the World Anyone Can Become a DIY Expert

If you think that you don’t have what it takes to work on DIY projects because you don’t have a very particular set of skills, Maggie McGaugh is here to prove you wrong. She went from zero to hero and became a true DIY expert and is now using her social media platform to show the world anyone can do the same.

McGaugh is one of Instagram’s leading DIY influencers, with 1.4 million followers under her belt, so it’s quite a shocker to learn she didn’t consider herself a particularly creative person. She had never picked up a paintbrush or used any power tools, but curiosity got the best of her when she started yearning for a creative outlet in 2020.

Painting a table someone had left on the curb was a turning point for McGaugh, and it left her craving for more DIY projects after she realized there’s potential to be found everywhere.

“Over the years, I’ve learned to make hideous furniture look expensive.  I’ve purchased an abandoned home, launched courses to teach others, partnered with brands, and learned it all through trial and error. Lots of error,” she writes on her official website.

Her Instagram page is a treasure trove for all the crafters out there, so check it out to get inspired for your next DIY project.
