We’re taking orders for Decembers We Make Collective kit! This one is very special to me, not only because it’s our second kit (which means we made it past the first one!!) but also because of what I hope to get out from it. My goal is to create a learning experience in each kit for every subscriber and that is exactly what I want to personally get from these supplies as well. Now I’m not a complete novice – I’ve done a little hand lettering in the past, but I have a lot to learn to be confident with my skills. I’m really looking forward to having a motivator for practicing and honing my technique and I hope that by noting how and what I’m learn as I go it will help to show the process of how to develop your skills over time as well.
Update: We have just 23 kits left for December! Click here to get yours!
As well as our usual group of amazing contributors we’re asking for volunteer DIYers to create tutorials for this kit too! We want to showcase your skills and talent in hand lettering. We’re looking for anyone with experience in calligraphy or brush lettering as well as in creating tutorials or taking quality photos of their work. We will be here holding your hand and guiding you through the process, so if you think you could potentially create a tutorial then don’t worry about going it alone!
So what’s in it for you?
You will of course get the kit for free! That comes with access to all of the tutorials and members only areas. We will be pinning your projects, blog posts and online shop to our We Make Collective Collaborators Pinterest board that goes out to our 600,000+ followers. We will also feature you right here on Fall For DIY, send your links out to our email subscribers, and highlight your business/blog in a sidebar ad. And to top it off you’ll have your very own contributor page with all your links and social media accounts over on We Make Collective. To be honest we just want to show you off at every opportunity!
Although this is an unpaid position we hope that it’s perfect for someone wanting to get involved with the Collective, but unable to financially at the moment. Of course we would love to pay all of our contributors. We’re working hard to reach a point where this is viable and we can reach out. Until then we’re hoping that we can help to promote you in exchange for sharing your skills with us.
If you’re interested in applying to contribute then pop us an email over at fran@fallfordiy.com before October 31st with links to your work and we will get in touch soon!
I just got the first kit in the mail last week, I’m so excited to start (I already have a tutorial bookmarked for when I have the chance). So when I saw your 23 kits left I kinda had a panic and had to sign up really quickly haha.
Heather! That’s amazing :D
I’m so happy you like the first kit! I’m looking forward to seeing what you make and hoping you find time before you receive the next one too xxx
I love the idea behind these kits and am so keen to learn hand lettering etc as teaching myself is becoming increasingly frustrating and I just don’t really have the tutorials to follow… I just wondered what is in the kit… I.e if I just ordered the kit there are no tutorials. Sorry, I’m probably asking a silly question but I’d love to have a full kit and a really good idea of tutorials so I can make progress with my hand lettering.
Hey Jessica!
It’s not a silly question at all! I’m sorry it’s not more clear. When you buy a kit all of our online tutorials for that month are included (which you can access for life) so you will have the tools to learn using the tutorials we include online. You can just order the tutorials as a stand alone without the kit. That might be where it was confusing.
I hope that helps. Just let me know if you have any other questions!
