This article explores amateur craft practices (DIY — Do-It-Yourself) as intimate, relational, and materially embedded activities that provide a unique lens for exploring anthropology’s “new sensibilities”. The authors analyse DIY practices not merely as technical work, but as a socially and materially complex activity involving care, embodiment and sensory knowledge. Rejecting the romanticised image of the bricoleur, the paper highlights the classed nature of such practices and their entanglement with consumer capitalism. Ultimately, DIY is shown not as a rebellion against the system, but as a meaningful everyday practice operating within it — shaping identity, enabling resilience, and fostering alternative ways of being-in-the-world.
