Back in high school, art class was my least favorite subject (aside from math, of course). No matter how much I tried, I just couldn't get my projects to come out looking worthy of an A. Mine usually fell flat, especially when placed next to my friends' impressive works. The fact that I wasn't exactly patient probably didn't help—I was always so bent on seeing the finished product that I would get really annoyed if the process took longer than I thought.

Art class, thankfully, is behind me now. Strangely enough, though, I've been finding myself itching to get crafty once more. I read a lot of fashion blogs, and one kind of entry that's cropping up every now and then—to much praise from the readers—is the DIY post. While I used to just be a mere observer when it comes to blog entries like these, I've slowly warmed up to the idea of actually trying them out to create something that I could easily find in stores. Truth be told, in the few times I get to look around at the shops, there's always this niggling thought at the back of my head that goes, "Madali lang i-DIY yan."

And the thing is, that little voice is actually right! Love those glitter-heeled boots that's on the feet of almost every blogger? You can easily DIY your own. Want a festive skirt to wear this holiday season? Try a sparkly, pleated one. DIY projects are a creative and fun way to nab the look for less because, let's face it, we don't all have the spending power of an Olsen twin.
