Instructables: Step-by-Step Guides & DIY Project Ideas

A community-driven platform for crafting, electronics, cooking, home improvement, and more, with user-submitted guides and project ideas.

What is Instructables?

Instructables is an online community and publishing platform where passionate people share what they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others. The website provides a place for makers, DIYers, crafters, artists, chefs, coders, and engineers to document and share their projects through text, images, videos, and CAD files.

Instructables has a large collection of DIY guides and project ideas submitted by its members. The topics cover a wide range including crafts, art, electronics, 3D printing, woodworking, metalworking, software, food, home improvement, green living, toys & games, costumes & props, and more. The guides provide detailed, step-by-step instructions with clear photos and diagrams so that others can complete the project themselves.

Members of the Instructables community can publish tutorials of their own projects to share with others. The website contains both simple, beginner-friendly projects as well as more complex undertakings. Users can ask questions and provide feedback on projects. There are contests, challenges, and special events held on Instructables to spark creativity among its members.

In addition to the website, Instructables has mobile apps for iOS and Android. The apps allow you to access projects, create step sheets, take notes, and capture photos even without an internet connection. You can then sync everything when you're back online. The apps make it easy to document your projects on-the-go.
