What is the DIY Luxury trend?

DIY Luxury: Rather than getting crafty to save a penny, these items cost more to DIY, but therein lies their appeal. While adding a personal touch could be a way to tighten the purse strings, in the case of these DIY luxuries, the focus is on putting time, money and effort into guaranteeing uniqueness--a luxury not all can afford.
