On Sunday, Urban Outfitters held an event titled "DIY or Die." Now, whatever your opinions on the store might be, I take it as a good sign that DIY has gotten big enough that a corporation like Urban is noticing it and attempting to make moola off it.

The event involved people showing off their own their own DIY, while learning how-tos from a few fashion bloggers (such as Six Six Sick Girls, I'll Wear Any Color as Long as It's Black, Dirty Flaws)

What I Wore wrote:

We learned how to shred knit fabrics, stud leather and canvas, fancy cut tees and leggings, embellished ripped denim, spool knit chain metal (my personal fave!) and make fringed out necklaces. There’s definitely a handfull of projects I’m going to try on my own!

Dirty Flaws posted on her blog after the event:

The tutorials were short and sweet. For the 5 of us pretty much just "winging it" i think everyone did really well.  We had no run through and I dont know about the other girls but I have never done a "how to" in front of an audience.  So , being the comiedian that I think I am, I used alot of quick whit and humor. I did a short 6 minute run through on distressing and adding pieces to denim. It definetly went a lot quicker then expected and I hope everyone left with a little more knowledge on DIYing.

It seemed like a good event all around. Were any of you Threadheads there?
