I'd consider most of my builds to be DIY, or at least to have elements of DIY. I didn't even discover EVA foam until a few years ago. The Lego costume in my profile pic consisted of all sorts of things. An upside-down wire hamper from Target was the frame for the chest piece. The head was a crazy combination of things... a paper mache hat box, wooden embroidery hoops, wooden sticks, needlepoint plastic canvas, garage sale signs, a CD-R spindle, electrical tape, insulation foam sheets, and more. Even after learning about great new techniques on this site, I still employ my own ideas into my builds... usually to find new ways to make things more wearable, more portable, and so on.
