Jean in Newcastle Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I love the projects on DIY.org. They give me ideas. But they don't want adults posting their own projects on their own (though kids are allowed to share something their parent did). I can understand that. In fact that is one reason why I'm not doing the projects alongside dd right now. It would discourage her and lead her to disparage her own beautiful work simply because I have age and treachery on my side. But I want to share cool stuff. And to get badges! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 How about Instructables? No badges to earn but you can post what you make and how to make it. http://www.instructables.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've wished for an adult version since DIY.org came out. I signed up for the newsletter and it constantly taunts me with new projects and badges :sad: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But alas. . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirstenhill Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So glad to know I'm not the only grown up wanting a version of DIY.org for adults. :-) I think that would be super fun too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 What can't they just make separate photo albums for adults? Do they not want kids looking at them for ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the main examples for things were obviously done by an adult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitterpatter Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That's what I was thinking, as I didn't even know if was for kids only before this thread. I don't know.

Farrar Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's the gamification aspect that really makes it. There should be one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
