Can I just say how much I love this young Youtuber Rebecca? She has created a fun how-to video that includes all the best elements of you want in your tutorial videos. She is fun and entertaining, she does awesome editing and she talks about how she did her project and the materials she uses. But most of all she has created a project I have never seen before in all my years of creating and writing about crafting! Winning! She created a video on how to make a Hello Kitty themed Ouija board! Yes, you read correctly! Now she “winged” a lot of it and I think that is one of the best parts of this project to show how easy it is. I highly recommend popping over to her Youtube channel to be entertained and educated on how to make a custom Ouija board for maybe this Halloween? Please show her some love and “like” her video. One final note- I should also say I love when a craft combines two unexpected things!!
