Here's another Etsy Storque how-to piece I couldn't resist posting.  These are ten relatively simple projects that can be done alone, or with friends or family.  My hands-down favorite is the light bulb terrarium.  And I wonder if the junk mail > paper beads can be enlarged a bit to junk mail > easter (egg sized) decorations. In any event, I think there's some fun in the offing here.

As a voracious crafter myself, a proponent of learning and making, and the author behind this weekly How-Tuesday column, I am constantly on the prowl for new and interesting tutorials and the chance to learn new skills. Whether it be from the pages of a craft book, at the table of a local art center, or a chance encounter somewhere in the depths of the blogosphere, I say, bring it on!  These ten how-to projects, all created by your fellow Etsy members, caught my eye for their playful and clever use of materials, as well with their sunny subjects that look forward to a spring season that is just around the corner here in the Northern Hemisphere. So, spring forth and get busy crafting!
