Video Tutorial: Egg Carton Gift Bow

by

 

Hi there.

How’ve you been?

Me?

Oh good.

I took a bloggy break there eh? I’ve literally been away from this little place for a whole seven days… It went by like the wind. Been busy. I’m riding a learning curve the last little while. Learning all kinds of good stuff. Over the last week I’ve been focussing on video editing. In the not-too-distant future, my hope is to offer a mini-online class. The ability to edit video will go a long way in making that a reality, so I’ve been practicing practicing practicing like a little fiend.

Below is my very first 100%-Michele-made video! (Lo pretty much edited the first two. I pretty much just plied him with coffee…) This time, though, it was ALL me. Granted, it’s not as polished as a Lo-made video, but you know what? That’s okay. I’m a beginner right? Stephen Spielberg needn’t fear for his job just yet. Still, I’m pleased with my maiden effort. The notion that I have the skills (sorta) to make a movie from start to finish is a little bit exhilarating, you know? Movies! I can make movies!!!

Anyway, blabber blabber blabber… Just show the darn video Michele.

Okay, okay. Here it is: My “Egg Carton Gift Bow Video Tutorial”!

Kinda similar to the last video, eh? I’m making a gift bow video series apparently, tee hee. If you’re fond of recycled gift bow ideas there are a few more here, here and here. For a slew of other egg carton crafts, click here.

 

Have a lovely day now, won’t you? See you in two shakes…

    Fan freaking tastic, Michele! The bow is so simple, but looks so complex. Kinda the opposite of the video! I know it was complex to make, but you made it look easy. Fabulous job!

    I'm impressed Michele! Great work on the editing. I definitely want to learn more with the videos – just need a little time again!! Love this little egg carton flower – I might try these with my girls!

    Well done, its delightful and such a cute idea for a gift decoration. I really like that you made it a tag too, so the flower can be kept afterwards, nice idea that.
    Jude Hill and Karen Ruane to name but two, seem to make video teaching tutorials a financial reward so hope you too can be turn it to your advantage!
    You have a lovely voice for the medium too!

    You make this seem so easy! Love your video and watching gave me a much better understanding about working with the material. My first go was not wonderful!!! But now i see why!

    The "gift bow" is beautiful, Michele.
