DIY ethos

The DIY ethos, or "Do It Yourself" ethos, is the principle of creating, building, or repairing things independently rather than relying on professional help or commercial products. It encourages self-sufficiency, creativity, and personal expression. Rooted in a spirit of resourcefulness, it can be applied in various areas such as crafting, home improvement, and technology. The DIY movement promotes the idea that individuals can take charge of their projects, learn new skills, and make things that reflect their unique tastes, often valuing personal effort and satisfaction over consumerism.
