Category: Tutorial Thursday

Tutorial Thursday started out with good intentions. Share a number of tutorials that sites participating in Crafty Tips have posted during the previous week or so. I had originally hoped to have folks email me their favorite tutorials. After months of no takers, I thought I would try this again but with a very different approach. Thanks to Google Reader, I can now ‘visit’ all of the great blogs on Crafty Tips from one convenient place. It will allow me to keep up with all of the great things everyone is doing as well as become more social with everyone. It will also give me a way to find and share great tutorials that folks have posted during the week.

I’m so excited that this section of Blog About Crafts will be revived. And just in time for Christmas! What could make for better timing?!!!

If you are already participating on Crafty Tips and have a great tutorial that you would like to share, please drop me a note to let me know and to ensure that yours will be one of the tutorials I feature that week.

If you have a great tutorial and are not a participant on Crafty Tips, please visit Crafty Tips Arts & Crafts Directory, find the appropriate category and submit your site. Then drop me a line or wait until you receive your confirmation email to let me know the great craft project you think my readers might like.

BTW, as of January 26, 2012, I have only 121 blog and shop subscriptions in my Google reader account. I went through all of the almost 900 active listings on Crafty Tips looking for the ones that mentioned blogs in the descriptions. It will take me some time to go through the rest of the listings to find everyone’s blogs. As I continually audit each of the categories and new sites are added to the listings, I will be updating the list. Again, the only way to ensure that your terrific tutorial is showcased on Tutorial Thursday is to drop me a line to let me know about it.

Tutorial Thursday – Last Minute Christmas Ideas – December 22, 2011

Posted on December 23, 2011December 23, 2011 by Michele

How could the last Tutorial Thursday before Christmas have anything other than great Christmas craft project ideas and yummy holiday recipes. This week I’m including 10 great last minute Christmas gift ideas that the talented folks participating on Crafty Tips have shared. The craft projects range from a free printable (with several clever options) to a beautiful cloth poinsettia and the recipes are for cookies, truffles and almond bread. Even if you don’t need a last minute gift idea, you just might find something to finish off your Christmas decorations or dinner table!
