Two tutorials

Post: # 133834Post StripyPixieSocks »

I made these tutorials because people kept asking me how I made the Fridge Magnets and the Package I put them in so here are the links as they are on my blog and I'm too tired to type them out all over again :shock:

Hope you like them and I hope they come in handy... would love to see any you make :flower:

Those are lovely, thanks for the tutorial. Where do you get the magnets from? I suppose youcould do this with photos etc?
Growing old is much better then the alternative!

Thank you so much for the tutorial - great photos and a wonderfully simple explanation , which is very important for a simpleton like me!
The magnets are so pretty, and a brilliant gift idea. I really appreciate your generosity in sharing the method with us.
I will definitely be giving these a try in the near future! :cheers:
We all have two gifts we should try to use as much as possible - imagination and humour.
Imagination compensates us for what we are not.
A sense of humour consoles us for what we are.
And wisdom tells us not to worry about it!

Thanks :D

Yep, simple explanations from a simple person heehee... I don't like these over complicated instructions that make it hard for people who don't do that kind of craft to understand because they use all the specialized words for things and then don't explain what the words are or mean.

I have found on some craft boards I used to be a member of there seemed to be that whole clique thing going on where if you don't know something they certainly aren't going to tell you kind of thing which annoys me and is why I left alot of the craft boards I used to be a part of.

I'm going to be making some more tutorials over time, obviously I'm not going to give away hundreds of trade secrets but what's the harm in letting people learn something that's fun to do?

Have fun... I know I did :D

My pleasure, I've just spent an entire day doing a card tutorial as well which should be up in the next couple of days... hopefully :)

Looking forward to the next one! I have my grandchildren for the day tomorrow and we are going to make a box of chocolates for Mummy for Christmas! I wish I could share the results and the mess with you! You will just have to imagine! pbf
