“Makin’ It with Destination DIY” is a project night and listening party. Treat your ears to unreleased snippets of Destination DIY and music selections courtesy of DJs Bill Hambone. Please bring your knitting, sketch book, arduino circuit board, zine stapler, Bedazzler, collage materials or whatever else you’re working on.
There will be FREE food and beverages courtesy of Mississippi Pizza Pub, Full Sail Brewing & Bushwacker Cider (gluten-free!)
And if you don’t have a portable project handy — never fear! — SCRAP will be bringing a handy-dandy button-maker so you can create your own unique buttons using reused collage materials and one-of-a-kind images.
Below is an example of some of the awesome stuff people have been working on at Makin’ It. More images from past events are right here.

Destination DIY is an independently produced public radio show and podcast bringing you stories about all kinds of creativity.
Taking the DIY lens beyond home improvement and crafts, we explore all kinds of ways people are working with limited resources to create rather than consume the world around them. Destination DIY blends recorded field sound, in-studio interviews and personal narration to create an arc that takes listeners on a journey and brings them back inspired.
