Tips & techniques on how to sell your handmade crafts easily, confidently & successfully : How to make handmade paper flowers using Stampin' Up! craft products video tutorial

If you've seen this DIY handmade paper flowers Stampin' Up! video tutorial of mine before apologies - it's an oldie but a goldie! I've been asked countless times how to make a variety of handmade flowers & this is the best way I have of showing you! Enjoy the show :)

I started with a flat back 10" polystyrene wreath and wound burlap trim around the wreath overlapping each piece slightly so there were no gaps.

I then handmade six different styles of flowers using different crafting techniques outlined in my YouTube video (below).

Stampin' Up! products used in this project include now retired Sweater Weather designer series paper, burlap trim, very vanilla seam binding, natural cotton trim and even the brown paper packaging that my Stampin' Up! products are delivered in!

I die cut the assorted leaves with the Autumn Accents die – the champagne glimmer paper just adds a little bit of glamour and bling!

For a seasonal Spring, Summer or Winter wreath simply use your favourite Stampin' Up! papers & accessories.

A couple of months ago I asked you about increasing interaction on my page & you gave me advice around engagement and asking questions to my customers building up trust. Since doing this I have noticed that my interaction talked about figures have gone up people are engaging more in my posts and we are building up trust which had resulted in a few more sales!

I started to make jewellery as a hobby in 2010 since then i have gathered various skills, which has caused customers at work, friends and family to say "oooh you should sell your creations". I fumbled around with advertising, a single fair and a couple of car boots. I found i wasn't doing very well and started to get frustrated and looked for help. I immediately found Marketing Creatively and since then everything has changed for my business and I! Using the 50 "cardinal rules" (as i call them) and every single piece of information i can suck from your blog, I am starting to expand my reach ten fold, i am finding networking much easier and much more focused, I am now blogging, which to my surprise is a big hit, and i am also planning to do tutorial videos and contact my local newspapers and such to get a bit of coverage. All in all I can't thank you enough. You have been such a great inspiration and help and I know I couldn't have done it without your support, and the support.
