My Tutorials

When I first started crafting, I soon realised that sometimes the simplest of techniques is harder than it looks and hard techniques can sometimes be overwhelming without the building blocks of how to start!

There are a lot of artists, designers and crafter's who regularly share techniques, as I try to do in my 'How To's' for each make I blog and there are a lot of great tutorials out there for some of the trickier stuff or those 'why didn't I think of that!' ideas.

So, if you follow my blog, you will be able to pick up tips and tricks on every post I do, but this page will have the links to step tutorials I have blogged to make it much easier to find them.

Please add a link back to my tutorial if you use it and if would be great if you could credit the inspiration back to Fairytaledaydream in your post :D
