I don't know a single person who crafts that doesn't love a good tutorial. No matter how experienced, enthusiastic, professional or skilled you are, there's always more to learn. Seeing how other people do those fiddly creative things can be so inspiring.
I have lists of tutorials everywhere but I've finally hit on a genius way of keeping them all fresh, in one place, where I can not only find them but see them at a glance too. Pinterest is perfect for such a thing. So from now on I'll be noting them all there, on my Make This board. And then I thought, why not share them with you too. There's already a good stash on there and I'll be adding to it continually.
So far you can find...
... paper garlands :: lace lights :: paper flowers :: origami wreaths :: felt flowers :: fabric leaf mobile :: fabric bangle :: felt and paper mobiles :: ruffle t-shirts :: embroidery guides :: a mod mobile (that one you see above) :: box pencil and cosmetic case / purses :: messenger bag :: space garland :: patchwork quilted square cushion :: a diamond tote bag:: a crocheted ninja :: woven paper ball :: and a row of rainbow coloured monstered...
So that should keep us all busy for a while.
BUT
BUT BUT
BUT BUT BUT Can I beg and plead of you to use these tutorials as they were intended. People work hard to write these things and design their designs. It's not cool to make things from tutorials and sell them unless they speficy it's ok to do so. I have a lot of maker / designer craft friends who have gone to the trouble and kindness of sharing tutorials for people to enjoy, and then see their hard work all over etsy or Folksy with not a single mention. It causes them sadness and heartache. And anyway much better to be original. It's great to learn from other people, but it's always better to corner your own market and stand out from the crowd right? That said, head over there now and enjoy!
