The Origins of LaurDIY

LaurDIY’s channel name is a combination of her name and the trajectory of her content. Her first viral video was a skull back t-shirt DIY, which did well on Tumblr. Since then, she has gained just under 8.5 million subscribers over the course of 10 years of consistent uploading, with a few breaks for mental health. She has won a Streamy award which helped with her visa application.

The Content Creation Process

For filming, LaurDIY uses an iPhone camera on cinematic mode, a Canon EOS M5 for vlogging, a Canon M50 with a wide-angle lens for main channel videos, and a 5D for dramatic shots. She hosts and executive produces a DIY craft challenge show called Craftopia. She is known for her creative and easy-to-follow DIY videos that range from room decor to fashion to beauty.

The Importance of Mental Health

LaurDIY is open about taking breaks and sharing her experiences with her audience. She used to put pressure on herself to come back with a bang but now focuses on making content that is less pressurized. She has 14 tattoos, including her Japanese beta name and a cootie catcher. She also has a podcast that started two years ago and recently celebrated its 100th episode.

LaurDIY’s Merch Line and Personal Life

LaurDIY also has a merch line where she creates items that she thinks are cute and her audience enjoys. She recently discovered an app called Squish Aler that helps her find rare Squishmallows. She was born and raised in St. Catharine, Ontario, Canada, and her parents are also from there. There is no information about LaurDIY’s Poshmark. She occasionally puts her gently used or never used items on Poshmark, and her username on the platform is LaurDIY official. She went to Ryerson University in downtown Toronto, but the university has since changed its name to Toronto Metropolitan University. LaurDIY once took a “what percent LaurDIY are you” quiz on Seventeen Magazine’s website and scored around 75-90%. This made her reflect on her personal growth and whether she is still as “LaurDIY” as she used to be.

Conclusion

LaurDIY is a popular personality who has made a name for herself in the world of DIY content creation. Her creative and easy-to-follow DIY videos have garnered her a large following on YouTube, and she has expanded her brand to include a podcast and a merch line. She is open about the importance of mental health and taking breaks, and she continues to inspire her audience with her content.
