Do It Yourself

Do It Yourself
 Unleash Your Inner Genius with Simple DIY Magic

Have you ever looked at an item and said, “I could make that?” That is the essence of DIY — Do It Yourself! Getting your hands dirty, picking up tools, and creating something awesome! Anyway, let’s look at why you should get into DIY and ways to make to make this fun.

What Is DIY, Anyway?

Do-it-yourself means making or perilously making something rather than buying a ready-made item or paying someone else to make it for you. It can be as small as painting a flower pot, or large enough to build your own handmade furniture. Or the results? So satisfying! Plus, you save money for yourself and uh-one sense- feel like you are a genius!

Why Should You Try It?

1. It’s Cheaper
    Have you ever looked at an item and said, “Why is this so expensive?” With DIY — you can make it for a lot less. Do you want a stylish candle holder? Get a jar, some paint, and the next thing you know, you made something stylish and affordable!
2. It’s a Blast!
    Think about taking an old T-shirt and turning it into a quilt or using popsicle sticks to make a birdhouse. You will feel like a crafty genius. Screwing something up is part of the fun too. If you glue all over the place? That’s part of the “creative choice.”
3. You Gain Skills
    Whether you are sewing, woodworking, or painting with each project you will learn cool new things. Soon people will refer to you as the DIY master! (Okay your dog may be the only one who does.)
4. It’s Unique
    Handmade items have a character that purchased items lack. When someone sees your creation they will say, “Wow, you made this?” And you can respond with, “Oh this old thing? Just made it!”
