This is just tiny teeny selection of the many garland tutorials I have found lately. 

You can have a look at rest here, in my crafty tutorials pinterest board. 

What I love most about paper garlands is that you don't need lots of materials and gadgets. Simply find paper, scissors, cello tape and some sort of stringing material..... and some inspiration!

Some of my favourite garland designs are so simple and made using book pages or brown paper.

Are you making a garland this year? I would love to hear about your garland ideas and creations!

Retro 8mm Movie Camera by Cuba Gallery

I have been have trouble, demoralizing trouble. I have written, planned and filmed 4 video tutorials. But once I have transfered them onto my computer they won't open in the any of the movie editing packages I have.

I have tried changing the settings on my camera, downloading "codec", compressing and converting them, and still nothing. I am sooo disappointed, I had plans for a whole series on me and my work. But at the moment everything has come to a halt.

Maybe I have to take this as a sign for the moment that the world isn't ready for my film making, and I should go back to the drawing board, and read up more about the technical things. Who was it that said it would be easy?

While I struggle with my movies here's a little one I think you'll enjoy.
