About Youtube Channel “DIY Paper Crafts – Giulia’s Art
Our youtube channel it’s design to encourage people to create special items on a budget. We offer gift ideas, room decor, DIY’s, and life hacks videos!
It all started in May, 2014 when my boyfriend (currently husband) convinced me that we should start an YouTube channel, and share my ideas and my creations with other people. At the beginning I was sceptic, considering that I had a bit of phobia when it comes to film myself (to be mention that I still have it), but I accepted the challenge and we stared it. Not long time after we started, we reach 100 subscribers, which was an amazing achievement for us. With our subscribers support and inspiration, we continued until today and I can say it worth it. We currently have just under 130K subscribers and many project to come.

I know it may sound like a cliché , but I found everything so inspiring.

Once I have my colour scheme, all the project goes easy, everything comes natural.

I fall in love with every single project of mine, but considering how much effort and passion I put in it, The Exploding Box is the winner to this category with over a month of drawing , measuring, choosing the perfect blend of colours and finally assembling it.
Style of Crafting
My style is more a romantic one, but I try as hard as I can to keep it in a fresh look and also to adapt to the people’s request.
Future Plans
Hopefully, in the future we would like to post videos more regular and to create even more events.
