First up, Find+Craft, a searchable website of craft tutorials. Here, you can search for craft projects by category, length of time to complete, and experience level. You can save the projects you like in your "stash" and even easily add your own tutorials. I think this website is relatively new - the categories are somewhat limited and there aren't A LOT of projects listed. But hopefully as more people visit and use the site (hint, hint), there will be more tutorials and categories added. Go check it out now, I'll wait :)
Next - this cool online magazine, Amy Powers' Inspired Ideas. The current issue is just chock full of great Christmas decorating and craft ideas. This magazine is gorgeous, and I love, love, love so many of these projects (check out the little Christmas village covered in snow glitter!). What is particularly great about this magazine is that the projects include all the templates and print outs that you need to complete them! Looks like I've missed some previous issues, but I'm definitely going to spend some time on this site!
And possibly my fav new site - Pinterest Fail - a BRILLANT idea!!! This blog heartbreakingly (but hilariously) posts failed attempts at replicating various projects and tutorials on Pinterest. Let's admit it - we've all been there. Why not share the pain? My favorite post - the DIY Chevron Melted Crayon Art. I remember seeing this on Pinterest and thinking, "that just can't be as easy as it might seem."
So, Happy Holidays from me to you! I hope these sites were exactly what you were hoping for :)
Pinterest Fail is always fun to look at. I've had plenty of things go horribly wrong but I always get so angry and exhausted that I give up completely and never even make mention of the project or fail ever again.
ReplyDeleteHi Heather - I agree! I think people are so brave to post their failures on Pinterest Fail :) But I appreciate being able to see and hear about other people's experiences with a project or tutorial.
