Great question! It's sometimes easier to just "have someone else do it," but that can be expensive and you can't always get exactly what you want. When you make something yourself, YOU control what it looks like, is made with and what it costs. It's also a great way to turn old, lifeless items into something new, exciting and unique.

There's a special kind of satisfaction and pride that can only come from using, wearing or showcasing something YOU made.
