DIY

Have you ever heard of DIY?

Do you know what that shortcut stands for?

In order to be as specific as you can be, let me give you a proper definition that is taken from Cambridge Dictionary website:

DIY: abbreviation for do-it-yourself: the activity of decorating or repairing your home, or making things for your home yourself, rather than paying someone else to do it for you:

So for me, it's an amazing way of making things by yourself. The internet is full of ideas starting from small flowers decorations up to making your own lightbulb. There's no doubt that some of them might turn out to be such a waste of time, other on the other hand could be a new way of developing your skills.

Certainly, there are things that it is just easier to go and buy at shops, but why would you go and spend money on something that you can make by yourself?

Let me give you an example: Christmas cards, normally they cost you about 2 pounds, however, the fancier they get the more money you'll have to spend. Why don't you make your own card? Trust me not only you will have fun, but also the person that one day receives that kind of gift will appreciate way more as the effort that you put in making it will be seen at first sight :) Obviously some of the DIY ideas; such as making your own speaker, not to mention all those precious decorations,  are only reserved for those people who are either mechanically or manually talented. However, nowadays you can learn almost anything, as you have guides that show you step by step what to do. So, why not give it a shot?
