DIY is short for ‘Design It Yourself’, but how do I define it? To me, designing is creating. Using the materials at hand and applying your
creative thoughts and imagination to fashion something new and unique.
One of the worst feelings is going somewhere and seeing a
girl next to you wearing the same dress or the same jewelry, or hearing her say
“Oh I have that same….” You fake a smile and a laugh, but you know you’re both
thinking, “Oh great, she has on the same thing.
How does this always happen? Does
it look better on her? Do we pretend like we don’t notice or just play it off?”
That’s why I DIY. DIY
is different than going to the store and buying a similar item. It’s handmade, handcrafted. Your time, money, sweat and tears are part of
this new creation. It has a special
meaning to you because you created it, and every time you see it, use it or
wear it, you’ll feel that, and know that it's personalized just for you.
