DIY Lessons

Not to long ago, I was emailed by Jane from www.diylessons.org asking if I would be interested in listing my polymer clay tutorial on the diylessons website...

So of course I hopped on that wagon with excitement!  

I did some searching and found tons of amazing tutorials that are 

available both free and available to purchase.  

Not to long after, Jane expressed her interest in featuring 

Too Sweet Magnolias on the DIYLessons web page.  

WOO - HOO!  

I encourage anyone who is new to crafting or wants to learn 

something new to sign up and browse through the many tutorials available at www.diylessons.org

DIY Polymer Clay Flower Tutorial

I've noticed many people are very successful with selling 

their handmade tutorials on Etsy.  

So, I've decided to take a chance at creating a tutorial.  

This is something that is totally new to me.  

I've done some promoting on Etsy and Twitter, but I haven't had any sales yet...

hm, maybe I need to work on my marketing skills a little more....

but anywho!

If you don't know, 

I am part of a mother/daughter collaboration in creating 

one of a kind polymer clay items, supplies and jewelry.  

Our first tutorial that we created together 

is for one of our Polymer Clay Rose Flowers.

The tutorial is a PDF file and is 10 pages in length.

It consists of 15 steps and 24 photos.

In the tutorial,

I provide you with all the materials you need 

as well as an estimated time you will need to set aside to create these flowers.  

They are really great pieces once you make them.  

You can use them to make earrings, rings, pendants, 

bracelets, pins, buttons, hair accessories, 

you can even use them to embellish your creative scrapbook pages!  

The possibilities are endless!

You can make these beautiful flowers in many sizes and colors!

From beginners up to experts, 

this is a great guide to use as a tool for anyone working with polymer clay.

If you are interested in purchasing this tutorial, 

you can find it on
