Have you ever felt the joy of
giving your mom a handmade gift?
Maybe you made her a card when
you were young. Or a handprint (they
were really popular when I was a kid.)
Maybe even a macaroni necklace that your mom wore all Mother’s Day just
because you made it for her.
The joy is really 2-fold when
making a handmade gift.
1. First, there is a joy and sense of
empowerment when you make the gift.
There is something about making art or craft that you cannot get
anywhere else. The world drops away and you
are entirely focused on your project.
You forget about your worries - work, financial, relationships, or
whatever your worry is about. You find
peace and serenity, even if it’s just for a few moments.
2. Second, there is a joy when you present the gift. You feel the joy as your mom opens your
gift. She feels the joy when she sees
the magnificant thing you have made for her.
She deeply will feel the love that you put into the gift, and she knows
that you have made it just for her. You
have taken your time and energy, your creativity and love to create this
one-of-a-kind present for her.
There is nothing like that joy,
that satisfaction and empowerment.
You have come so far since the
macaroni necklace, baby! If you don’t
think you have, I can teach you.
Step-by-step. In full color
photos. Plus you get my help via email
if you get stuck.
You can customize your gift to
your mom’s favorite color. In my latest
tutorial you can even add photos! I can
tell you from experience, your mom will adore that! She might even cry!
I’m not going to say it will be super easy, but you can learn and I am here to help you. Step-by-step. (And, maybe it will be easy...)
About my tutorials:
My tutorials are very detail
oriented. When I write them, I assume
you know nothing about how to do whatever the project is. (One exception: sewing tutorials. I assume that you can at least sew in a
straight line. You by no means need to
be a master seamtress, or anything close.
You can just be starting!)
You get step-by-step instructions
with close up, clear photos. I have seen
other tutorials and patterns, and my photos are much clearer. Sometimes it seems like the person missed a
step - mine don’t. You get stuck
anyway? Don’t panic, just email me and
I’ll help you.
I have 18 different tutorials for
sale in my Craftsy Pattern Shop.
