DNTO gets crafty

Tune in to CBC Radio's Definitely Not the Opera this afternoon for some radio craftiness. The show's all about craft, DIY and other magic.

If you want a job done right, do it yourself. That’s a common sentiment these days, as the do-it-yourself culture becomes increasingly popular. We’ll explore that idea today with Sook-Yin’s special co-host, Sara Quin of Tegan and Sara fame! We’ll start by getting to know Sara a little better with a little game called “My First Time... With Sara Quin.”

Once upon a time, they said a man in uniform was irresistible. But now, it’s a man with a toolbelt. Judith Klassen will tell us why handy is hot.

Joff Schmidt comes by to talk about his favourite food show, which combines the joy of cooking with power tools.

We’ll put Sara to work with her official duties: acting as celebrity judge for our “101 Uses for a DNTO Square” contest. Tune in to hear about the fabulous work of our finalists, and to find out who Sara will crown the ultimate DNTO crafter!

You can check out the gallery of finalists for the “101 Uses for a DNTO Square” contest right here. I like the cootie catcher and the sheep's clothing best. Tune in to find out who wins.
