June 10th in DIY History
On this day in 1943, the "Do It Yourself" movement gained momentum during World War II when resources were scarce and people were encouraged to repair, reuse, and make their own items. This wartime necessity evolved into a creative lifestyle that continues to thrive today.
The first DIY home improvement magazine was published in 1950, marking the formal beginning of the DIY publishing industry that would inspire generations of crafters and makers.
