Craftseller Magazine April 2015 Edizione posteriore

When it comes to getting noticed, it pays to have a bright and beautiful bounty to sell. So this month we're worshipping colour, from bold, eye-popping primaries, to calming pastels. Start with our felt cover stars, spaceboy and spacedog. Bold and fun to make, they're perfect for geeky sci-fi fans or space-mad pals. Try our sunny-day bike bells or buzzing beehive gadget covers for a super-quick colour fix. Quash the greyest of days with Gretel Parker's needlefelted tropical bird brooches, Dorothy Wood's stunning peacock feather earrings and Susanne Frank's zingy, chevron knit for young fashionistas. Then, turn the colour volume down and soothe your sewing machine with our cool patchwork floor cushion and rustic doily pocket bag – ideal for vintage vixens. Lastly, embrace natural beauty with a pure lemongrass and poppy seed soap – a heaven-scent make you won't want to sell! As always, we've expert reads on becoming a craft tutor and great packaging ideas, along with all your favourites: letters, giveaways and more – happy springtime!
