Glue, paint, glittery sweat - and a lot of crafty networking helped four of the most influential DIY experts in the nation turn their passion for DIY into full-time gigs.

It's a very competitive industry and these four panelists have managed to stay at the top of the game, - not only in the Latino world, but in the mainstream DIY universe. From hacking a hoodie to refurbishing a dinette to choosing the right color story for a flower arrangement - they have covered it all!
