How To Make Bath Bombs

Today's Craft Vine Feature! Are you ready for a long soak in the tub? Emilie Lefler aka Untidy Artist teaches one the best DIY bath bomb tutorials we have seen on YouTube so far! Emilie describes everything in detail in an easy to understand manner. She provides so much helpful information in her videos to help us make better bath bombs. Her teaching style is great for beginners and for those who have a few batches under their belts too.

Coffee Stained Paper DIY

Today we found a great tutorial on how to stain paper with coffee. A special thank you to DIY Craft Club for posting this tutorial to try. Staining paper with coffee is so satisfying. This was a relaxing way to spend the afternoon let me tell ya! There are many uses for coffee-stained paper so we couldn't wait to try this out. When we went ahead and followed this tutorial, we used a baking tray and dipped larger sheets to use for custom gift wrapping to keep on hand. Their tip about the different kinds of paper was a good one because when we tried regular printer paper we did not have as good results, it ripped really easily. Heavier papers ended up being our favorites, especially for stamping on. We found that the best paper for stamping thank you notes was the watercolor paper. It gives a nice ephemera look and feeling.

How To Make Marshmellows

We've never tried making homemade marshmallows until we saw this easy marshmallow recipe from Everyday Food. Making your own fabulously gooey marshies is fun and easy. You only need a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. Even if you have never made a single marshmallow in your life, Thomas Joseph shows us how to get them perfect in no time at all. We will never buy store bought again, thank you Joseph! To keep your homemade marshmallows fresh, the best way to store them is in an airtight  glass container . They will keep soft for about 4 days. subscribe to EveryDay Food Now that you have the basic recipe down, you can experiment with all kinds of flavors. Lavender is extremely popular and so is peppermint. You can also try dipping them into chocolate, or get boozy and add some bourbon to really kick the flavors up. Try brushing on some edible gold lustre dust for a romantic evening. Have fun creating your own varieties.

How To Take Product Photos

Are you taking the time to photograph your craft products properly? By now you should know that taking great photos of your products that highlight their best features will help you stand out from the competition and make more sales. Good photos are critical for your customer's shopping experience and often the very first thing they see when deciding to click for more information on what you are selling. In fact, poor photos will prevent you from making regular sales no matter how much time you put into making your products. If you are struggling with how to take beautiful photos of your products, we have found a really great tutorial for you from Shopify . They show us that great photos can be easily taken with our smartphones and tablets. If you need optical zoom shots though, you might want to invest in a good DSLR camera .

Mixed Media Art Collage DIY

When it comes to mixed media in art, it takes a good eye. Colors, designs, textures all play important roles, and for some, it comes easily. Thank goodness that people take the time to share their unique design skills with others on YouTube! This tutorial is simply amazing. When we found Marta's channel we were thrilled! She has the ability to send us running to our local thrift store time and time again. What we love about her videos and teaching style (not to mention she is super soothing to listen to) is that she often makes use of things that might be thrown away, like the packaging of a pen pack or cardboard from a cereal box. She shows us that we can make beautiful imaginative artwork with things we might already have at home. So inspiring! If you have some time to spare, grab a cup of cocoa and watch this art collage process using magazine cut outs. This tutorial is quite long but Marta's chit-chat makes it go by so fast! Almost too fast! Simply stunning work here...
