What is DIY? Have you seen these words appear in any book, magazine, etc? DIY is an abbreviation of the order of the sentence "Do It Yourself." What is DIY?


DIY in my interpretation is made, repair, upgrade or modify anything without using the services of experts and professionals. The aim is to familiarize ourselves to work, so we do not expect expertise to do things for us, in addition to save our cost to make, repair, upgrade or renovation.

From Wikipedia,
Do it yourself (or DIY) is a term used to describe building, modifying, or repairing of something without the aid of experts or professionals. The phrase "do it yourself" came into common usage in the 1950s in reference to home improvement projects which people might choose to complete independently.

The terms "DIY" and "do-it-yourself" are also used to describe:
  1. Self-publishing books, zines, and alternative comics.
  2. bands or solo artists releasing their music on self-funded record labels
  3. trading of mixtapes as part of cassette culture
  4. crafts such as knitting, sewing, handmade jewelry, ceramics, etc.
  5. designing business cards, invitations, etc.
  6. creating punk or indie musical merchandise through the use of recycling thrift store or discarded materials, usually decorated with art applied by silk screen.
  7. Independent game development and game modding.
