Don’t forget to check out the book ideas page to help you get started.
Categories:
1. project tutorial - this is where you give step by step instructions on how to make or do something nifty or tricky. It does not have to be an original design - but does need to have features that are your own. It can be a tutorial on making something you have designed yourself or it can be a tutorial on how to do some old crafty tricks passed down from your grandma or figured out for yourself.
2. project process - this is where you show off a completed project - it can be your own design or something you followed from a pattern - the point here is to describe the project and tell us how you did it - this is not a step by step tutorial - rather a description of how you felt, alterations or additions you may have made, challenges and choices you met along the way during the making of this project.
