Tutorials

 What fun craft tutorials have you found on the internet recently? I'm constantly perusing Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest looking for fun, crafty ideas, and I thought it would be fun to share a few of my most recent favorites here. 


There are probably a million free craft tutorials on gathered.how, but my most recent favs are:

1. This macramé purse

2. These patchwork birds

3. This crocheted scarf. (You have to scroll down a bit and click the link to get the PDF.)


There are a ton of weaving tutorials on YouTube by Spruce and Linen. A few favorites are:

1. Two Color Diamond Twill

2. Arrow Pattern Woven Wall Hanging

3. Overshot Weaving Tutorial


My favorite weaving teacher is Lindsey Campbell at Hello Hydrangea. She has a wide selection of weaving, macramé, punch needle, and locker hooking video classes that you can take for a fee (and I highly recommend them), but if you're looking to try something free first, here are a couple things from her:

1. Layered Macramé Wall Hanging

2. How to Dye Rope

3. DIY Woven Necklace


Another favorite crafter is Anne Weil from Flax & Twine. She has lots of beautiful craft kits, some of which I have gladly dropped money on, but she also has some free patterns/tutorials spread about on the internet: 

1. Here is her Soft Bobble Crochet Blanket.

2. This beautiful Woven Easter Basket.

3. This super-easy Monogram Tote Bag.


Someone I just very recently discovered is Chantel Conlon at Lots of Knots. She sells macramé supplies and has beautiful YouTube tutorials for tons of cute projects. Here are a couple I spotted, though I haven't watched any yet:

1. Macramé Easter Bunny

2. DIY Easy Beginner Macramé Wall Hanging

3. Animal/Pet Paw Print


Honestly, I could keep going, probably for a long time. There are so many talented artists out there who are so kind as to give us free content. Please consider trying out a couple things above, and if you like them, go to their websites and throw some money their way, either through classes or materials. Support your favorite artists!

What other types of tutorials would you like? I could go searching for more, I never tire of it! Let me know what you think in the comments. 

Happy crafting!
