Hey Lykkers 👋 Have you ever watched a DIY reel and thought, “Cute, but way too complicated”? Same here 🙋‍♀️ But guess what—I tried this fun idea called a “micro workshop,” where you show how to make something small with just 3 pictures and a 15-second video. And it actually worked!

Let me show you how I made a tiny macrame keychain, and how easy it was to put together a fast, scroll-friendly tutorial.

🎯 Step 1: Pick something tiny and simple

This is the key: don't pick a big project. Keep it super small and doable.

I went with a mini macrame keychain because:

It takes less than 10 minutes

It only uses 3 easy knots

It looks cute on camera

Other great picks for beginners:

✔️ Beaded rings

✔️ Clay charms

✔️ Washi tape bookmarks

✔️ Tiny dried flower cards

Keep it light, nothing that needs too much measuring or tools.

📸 Step 2: Plan your 3 photo shots

All you need are 3 simple photos that tell the story:

Tools & materials (make them look tidy!)

The process (like a close-up of your hands)

Final result (with good lighting!)

I took all mine near a window—daylight makes a huge difference. You can even lay a white shirt underneath for a clean background.

🎥 Step 3: Film a quick 15-second video

I used my phone—no fancy setup. I just propped it up with a mug 😂

Here's how I broke it down:

5 seconds: showing the tools

5 seconds: tying the knots

5 seconds: showing the finished piece

Don't worry about being perfect—people love seeing real hands and real moments.

✍️ Step 4: Add chill, friendly captions

Instead of being too “tutorial-like,” I kept it casual:

✨ “Weekend project: made a mini keychain!”

✨ “Only takes 3 knots 😌”

✨ “Save this if you like calm crafts”

Short, warm, and something your friends would smile at while scrolling.

💬 Real talk + your turn!

Honestly, I didn't expect people to care. But I posted this mini tutorial, and friends started asking for more!

It feels good to share something creative, even if it's small.

So Lykkers, if you've been sitting on a DIY idea but feel like it's too much—start micro!

3 photos + 15 seconds = magic ✨
