The top July 2017 DIY ideas show that with the right components and know-how, it's possible to create everything from friendly car horns to posture-correcting wearables.
Since taking on a DIY project from scratch can be a daunting task, brands are launching kits that help to empower consumers to make their own skincare, board games, turntables and sundae desserts. With the rise of fidget spinners, some toy companies are also sharing 3D printing files to help consumers create inexpensive, fully customizable versions of popular toys.
As easy as it is to tackle small-scale DIY projects on one's own, there are now also entire communities and apps devoted to connecting makers with other inventive collaborators for new projects.
