In a world where you can buy just about anything on your phone while sitting on your couch and have it shipped straight to your front door, it’s surprising to see that DIY is not just alive and well, it’s thriving! Here are three reasons why DIY is making a comeback.
Tools and tutorials galore! The fact that you can find just about anything and order it online certainly applies to tools and craft materials as well! Specialized tools once reserved for those in the trades are now readily available to anyone willing to dish out the money, and with a plethora of tutorials uploaded to streaming sites on the daily there’s some great instruction available on just how to use those tools.
An enterprising endeavour. The new digital marketplace means it’s not just easy to buy anything, it’s easy to sell anything. With Etsy popularising handmade items online and craft fairs enjoying a resurgence in part because of it, many people have turned to DIY as a commercial enterprise.
You can’t beat custom. Yes, you can certainly buy anything these days, but sometimes you want something very specific. Maybe that ugly Christmas sweater just isn’t ugly enough, so you knit your own. Maybe that piece of jewelry just doesn’t express your individuality, so you make your own, etc. There’s a certain appeal that comes with custom, which is only fueling the DIY fire.
