I just blogged about starting making Christmas decorations, glad to see that the C word is popping up other places too. I’d love tutorials on different types of decorations, not just for holidays but all sorts.
I would like to see a few tutorials / patterns for items sewn by hand (decorations, stuffies, pillows, bags, etc).
I would love to see a tutorial for a teddy bear. One that is sitting but not with moveable joints.
I would love to see a tutorial for needle felting, especially if it is needle felted play food!
I’d like to see a tutorial for making a bucket of fun for the summer with the kids–a summer survival kit of supplies with lots of ideas for things to do with the kids or little money, little mess and little hassle.
I think some tutorials on organizers would be fun. Like how to make size dividers for babies/ kids clothes, car organizers, closet organizers, baskets, creative way to store craft supplies…that kind of thing. Who doesn’t love cute storage solutions?
I’d love to see a tutorial on making paper beads or other stuff from paper pulp (paper held in water for 1-2 days) and also some other beads made of cheap things or recycled things.
I would love a tutorial on making decorative camera straps.
I’d love to see a tutorial on how to make pins that behave–things stay on the pin and the pin opens easily and closes without rapidly opening itself. I’d like to know some good methods for attaching pin backs, the kind of pin backs there are in the universe and maybe some online stores that provide them. For example, talk about sewing pinbacks to fabric, glueing pins up (fabric, beads, whatever), any of the ways you can get a pin to work. Also, it would be great to find out how to balance the dang things, so the pin sits properly.
Can you tell I’ve been suffering from a bad case of pin-frustration?
