Tutorial Thursday

This week’s Craft Tutorial Thursday has perhaps the most diverse group of projects that I’ve ever presented. Learn how to make window clings, a practical food storage shelf, a snowman quilt, paint on fabric with homemade stencils and how to avoid a common knitting problem.

Origami, applique, stitch markers, business card templates and a cute idea for Valentines Day are all part of this week’s Craft Tutorial Thursday post. Unfortunately, it does come a day late. But, sometimes as the saying goes, “Good things come to those who wait.”

A pair of projects for paper crafters and a trio of quick and easy sewing projects are featured on this week’s Craft Tutorial Thursday.

Learn how to make your own stamps, over 40 inchies, a scarf, a hair bow and pocket tissue holders from the wonderful tutorials written and discovered online by participants of Crafty Tips.

As usual, the crafty folks I’ve met through running Crafty Tips have offered a wide variety of craft tutorials this week. Two have a decidedly winter theme, another is pure genius, and two are simply beautiful.

Be sure to check out this week’s post to learn who made what and perhaps find a great craft project you’ll want to try for yourself.

The last Craft Tutorial Thursday for 2011 showcases a trio of crafters. Miho shares a few of her kirigami secrets, Jessica shares with us her adventures in candlemaking and Emily offers us another great scrapbooking printable.

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!
