Overview

Being a DIYer isn’t always about making something new. Sometimes it’s also about taking an object and fixing or improving it and that is exactly what we want to see for the Fix It Contest! Find a way to take something and make it better whether that is actually fixing it or adding onto it in a fun, new way.

Devise the best ways to Fix It and you could win Cordless MultiMaster StarlockPlus Oscillating Multi-Tool, Porter-Cable Lithium Ion 8-Tool Combo Kit, or Leatherman Multitool. Now, pull that broken bowl out of the garbage and wipe the cobwebs from your splintered shovel, it’s time to have some fun and fix it!

Learn some basics when it comes to fixing by checking out our Glue Class!
