Anna Brown was an artist who believed that it was important to help others. When she heard of a summer camp for children with serious illnesses, she came up with an idea. It cost these kids money to go to the camp, so Anna decided to see what she could do to help. It was impossible for her to donate a lot of money, so she had to think of another way.
She wanted to take advantage of her love of art. So she started making and selling beautiful cards to raise money for these kids. Because these cards were all handmade, it would take her a long time to make a lot of them. So Anna had another idea. She started inviting friends to her house to help her make the cards. At first her friends were hesitant. Many said that they were not artistic and didn’t know how to make cards. But once they saw the beautiful materials that she had in her workroom, her friends felt more comfortable doing things such as drawing and cutting in order to make a new card.
But the materials were expensive. To make money without spending money, Anna asked for and got donations of paper, glue, scissors, and other things from nearby stores. She sold her cards for three dollars each in different art markets during the year.

DIY is very popular in China now. Yang Chen works for a computer business in Beijing. Though he enjoys his work, it is hard for him to relax after work.
“For a long time, I had no choice but to go to a bar for a drink and karaoke(卡拉OK) to relax,”he said.
One day when he saw many toy dogs in a toy shop, he had an idea. “Why not do some kind of different things to relax?”Then he began to make model planes, model ships and something else. The things that he made by himself didn’t look as professionally made as those in the shops, but he liked doing it. Now his bookshelves are full of many kinds of things he has made. They are very beautiful, and his family and friends like them very much
More and more young people are like Yang, making or creating things on their own. They like to do things themselves.
Though making things with our own hands may take much time, some people, now known as DIYers—do-it-yourselfers, enjoy doing DIY very much. They can make all kinds of things they like. DIY is becoming more and more popular in China. It may be new to the young, yet many people remember the moment when it was a way of life.
Between the 1960s and the 1970s, when there were not enough things for people to live on, they had to use their own hands to do many things. Whitewashing the wall or making clothes was part of life because there was no other choice. If you wanted something done, you had to do it yourself; if you needed something, you had to make it yourself.
