Why DIY Cottagecore?

There’s something deeply satisfying about making things by hand. Whether it’s sewing your own dress from vintage-inspired patterns, pressing flowers from your garden, or crafting gifts for loved ones, DIY is at the heart of cottagecore.

It’s about slowing down, learning traditional skills, and creating objects with intention and care. Plus, handmade pieces often have more character and meaning than anything you could buy.

What You’ll Need to Get Started

  • For sewing: A basic sewing machine, natural fabrics (linen, cotton), scissors, thread, and patterns
  • For crafts: Natural materials like dried flowers, herbs, beeswax, and simple tools
  • For printables: A printer, cardstock or quality paper, and frames (thrifted frames work beautifully)
