Curious Jane started as a summer camp for girls, and the magazine sprung from all the projects we created for camp. The magazine lets us share our DIY with anyone, any time, any where!
We make it β top to bottom β in our Brooklyn workspace.Β
In 2020, we paused. And in 2022… we’re coming back! The *new* Curious Jane Magazine has a fresh look, new content, and all sorts of awesome DIYs. Below, you can browse our 6 years of back issues, for free!
Check them out, and look for a Curious Jane Magazine with a major makeover this November!

The Science Behind It... π§ͺ
The rainbow magic happens via a process called thin film interference - the same process that creates rainbows in oily puddles on the street or in soap bubbles!
When light hits the film, some of it reflects off the outer boundary, while some of the light travels into the film and bounces off the bottom boundary. As a result, the light waves are all on different tracks and interfere with each other, causing us to see different colors!
Best practices for makers! β¨
