Spend the money Or do the DIY

Spend the money or do a DIY?

This has been a question and over the past 5 years has differently been the one I have ask myself over and over.

 All over the Internet you can find DIY, but often some seem simply insane, Like they ask for a power drill or or finding something like a pallet of wood? that can cost any where from $11- to a drill I don't have the ability to go buy one isn't this suppose to be a DIY?



 So here is just a quick list on what I ask my self if Its worth it to do a DIY

1. Is the Material Accessible to me 
2. If I need to go buy it is it cheaper than buying it online
3. YOUTUBE it! that has been the best thing every I look it up is there a guidance on how to do it. If there is simple follow the directions!

These are the perfect questions to go by.. at least for me and I love saving money ( who doesn't). I love DIY and defiantly if I can save the money and still be like Oh yeah I made this..WIN

Bows Bows Bows. Having 2 girls I have been able to save and make a little money for there bows
