About

The DIY Dish Web Show brings you the latest and greatest projects, reviews, and how-to’s with everything DIY!

Hosts, Kim and Kris, love the creative process.  As you could guess, Kim and Kris are identical twin sisters! As former elementary school teachers (they even taught in the SAME 4th grade classroom for many years!) they have always enjoyed sharing and teaching. In 2006, Kim started the popular DIY website, www.YouCanMakeThis.com. Two years later, Kris began managing the 2nd “sister site”, www.SWAKembroidery.com. And in 2009, a 3rd DIY website was added to the mix: www.YouCanQuiltThis.com.

Whether it be sewing, crafting, scrapbooking, quilting, embroidery, family projects, and more, you’ll enjoy watching The DIY Dish and participating too!
