Hi there Masoud! Of course :)

To improvise can mean, according to Merriam-Webster: "to make or fabricate out of what is conveniently on hand". From what you wrote, "making it up" appears to be used in the sense of creating something as the situation demands with what resources are available, so Improvise would fit quite well in that context.

I hope this has cleared up my suggestion for you, if you need any other info please let me know. :)
