Julia Wycliff on HGTV Handmade

As a part of the HGTV crew, Julia filmed several DIY and craft videos which were easy to follow. Her speciality was DIY challenges, which challenged viewers to do homemade projects as fast as possible or with limited resources.
Simple DIYs
Julia created her YouTube channel in 2012 under the name SimpleDIYs. Her intention wasn’t to get famous but share her hobby with other people. She is a busy woman with a stable job, so she posts videos only once in a while. In 2012, friendship bracelets were a hit and could be bought in every corner. But even though children could buy them, they rather enjoyed making them themselves for their friends. Julia got caught up in the trend as well and started filming How To videos, where she showed different stitches for bracelets.

Besides friendship bracelets, Julia participated in fashion DIY crafts, for example, how to cut off jeans to make shorts.
