Here are some quick projects that you can design, make and use on any project :) xx

[@mariesharonroe3825]

Fiona,your the best..I'm on a tight budget and I would love to buy the videos all of them,but I can't.So God Bless you for thinking of us older people💕💕

[@gdobberteen]

I definitely appreciate every tip, big or small, that you show. Thank you soooo much!!!

[@louisgrubb8643]

YOU ARE AMAZING AS A PERSON AND A CRAFTER. THANK YOU. YOU MAY NOT SEE THIS AS IT'S 2012 BUT BELIEVE ME PEOPLE ARE STILL WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND ENJOYING THEM AS WELL AS LEARNING FROM YOU.

[@fred6059]

To save money I save cardboard from packages and cut out my own cardboard circles with a circle punch. Sometimes I come across colored cardboard. You can also ask your family and friends for their cardboard .

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Thank you for your kind words and I know many people don't have beautiful things but there are heaps of ways of getting nice things to craft with. Like garage sales/carbooties, old clothing like petticoats and frilly collars. Second hand shops do lovely net curtains that can be used for flowers, backgrounds etc. I was lucky enough to find that table cloth on ebay for £6 and I'm sure at booties you can pick up things just as nice. Think outside the box! Most of my laces (apart from what I sell)..

[@ninabenson2827]

I think you're great. I didn't have much either growing up and learned how to make everything and make due. I love your tutorials. You're very creative. 💞🤗

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

I have lots of video's showing you how make pockets and envelopes etc for books. In fact I show how to make many many embellishments for mini's etc! Please check them out, whatever you want to create, type it in on my channel and it will come up. There isn't much I haven;t done a video on lol lol and there are over 3,000 of them to browse through :) xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Thank you so much for your kind words, I love doing what I do and I'm not saying I don't buy packet things, I make as much of my own materials to craft with whenever I can though there are many times I buy because I don't have this or that to make them with lol lol Its just good to make as much as you can before buying :) xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

I am so glad that you find my tutorials and video's useful. It is how we learn by passing things on and many crafters don't share what they know. Yes they look and learn from others but then never pass it on! I'm a firm believer in sharing what I know so that it isn't lost forever and how we learn is what we share :) xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

I look forward to your project share and glad you enjoyed yourself today. Yes the glue can be a pain in the neck, but its all part of the fun we like to have :), there is a tut on the dragon flies that I did last night :) xx

[@dragonflyer59]

I love this tutorial...I am planning on making a mixed media Paris canvas and these will go well with the vintage lady picture I have...thank you for sharing all your projects...

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Cont... I mean my own personal stash comes from carboots and secondhand shops. I don't buy laces for myself unless I get them cheap cheap like I did the other day lol lol. Hugs Fi xx

I love making things from bits and babbles too. Then it's from me and so much more personal, not to mention unique and from the heart. I really enjoy watching and learning from you. You plant ideas and encourage us to run with them. Basically... Thank You for being you

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

I'm so happy that you found some vintage lace to play with, its getting rarer by the day! There are lots of flower tutorials to watch if you need any tips as I have about 480 different flowers that I have filmed :) xx

Nossa muito lindos vc é maravilhosa 😘🥰

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Thank you Duchess, they are so cute and easy to make :) xx

[@sandrathomas2079]

It's called thrifty, Fi. I too know how to make something from nothing. It's how we were raised and we know how to be thankful and appreciate what we have., and to play it forward

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Oh yes I agree, we had nothing. My fondest meories are that as a big family, we would make everything ourselves and we were taught from an early age too 'HOW TO'... 6 girls and 2 boys, plus two crafty and very able parents! Passed on from their own parents! We didn't spend a fortune on Christmas decorations like they do today. We made them like stringing coloured paper chains as the garland, made shiny baubles from tinfoil to hang on the tree and used coat hangers covered with tinsel to hang from the ceiling. Made all our own food like tarts and bread sticks etc on special occaisions and made our own sweet treets like toffee when we could afford the sugar. Yes, life was pretty hard but we made it work and had some fun doing it all ourselves! Those were the days lol Thank you so much for dropping by :0) xx www.jenningscreationsboutique.com

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

God I don't know I've had them a long time, sorry :( xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

lol lol Thought you would like them my friend :) xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Off to make some brolly's Hugs.....Mary

[@pamscreative]

I just love watching your videos Fiona. You are inspiring me more than you'll ever know. I've always crafted all my life, and now it's coming into better focus. I'm 64 now and have had heart problems that keep me home a lot. Now I am doing all I can with my hands and thanks to your videos I stay busy creating. You are a blessing and I am thankful for you.

[@sweetwaterscards]

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am one of those people who can't afford most things. I am always looking for ways to make cute things to put on my cards and albums. These are really cute ideas.

[@normalara1417]

I'm fairly new to your channel and I just have to say, that as I watch your videos, I'm really amazed at your God-given talents. You're so creative! Love the dragon flies! TFS😊💕

[@XCALIBERNATION]

I'm a tight wad on our electric bill and we grow a garden every year and I freeze alot of food for the winter. I also buy alot of my clothes from Thrift Stores. I look for bargains! I always hit the clearance and never buy regular price and also if I do buy I'll buy wholesale items or bulk items. That's my way of saving so then if I want something I can afford it.I watch my pennies too. Know when I can spend and know when I can't. In the summer we have more money but when winter comes I stop!

[@Jazzyjess49]

Thanks Fi, for teaching me how to make so many things. I, too, am one without. Watching your vids give me lots of inspiration. I've said it before, and I'll say it again; You're very special to all of us! Please do not take those bad comments to heart! 6000 subbies can't be wrong! Very cute little brolly. I have a template with some lovely butterflies. So I can make them even thought I don't draw well. Thanks again Fi, Hugs, Jess

[@GmaAlice]

A simple "Thank You" just doesn't seem to be enough for all that you do to help those less fortunate, to be able to craft as elegently as those who have much more and buy it. It means so much more to my family to know that everything I do is hand made from my supplies and not purchased in a store. Thank you for this tutorial as I'm sure to use the inspiration gained from it to make these to use on a project for my granddaughters. You're the Best Mrs. J.

[@mollytigger]

Yet again so beautiful! I hear you about making with what you have, but I am one of those people that can't afford.I don't have those kinds of laces to make things look so nice. I have made a couple of projects which in itself they looked ok, but I know if I had nicer embellishments they really would have stood out. You are helping in teaching how to make things with what you've got and I do thank you for that.

[@jansfield5314]

Its not ' scroogness" its philosophy and sensible, glad to have crafters showing us like you, you always come up with fabulous ideas and well made! Xx

[@Simunaya]

Hello Fiona, Love your work. Some dings of what you are showing is what I did when I was still making dolls. I got the old camera from my brother in law. He gave it to me a some months ago and I just found out that I can make vidio's with it. I will practice with it and will show how I restore one of them. He lost his hair. The hot glue got old I think. Hugs Hanneke

[@Twilly24382]

I fall into the cant afford shop bought group but I think the knowledge you share has far more worth and meaning than anything shop bought. I was one of those kids that wanted for nothing but what I didnt have is the know how when I had nothing . Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these tutorials.

[@juneribbons5196]

I've seen butterflys that are completely blinged out with pearls and rhinestones that were marvelous. They were a lot smaller though. My family was a lot like yours, although there wasn't as many of us. In a former comment I told how our mother taught us everything. Back then as you know most mothers stayed at home and kept the house and the meals on the table. We cut our paper dolls out of the Speigles, Montgomery Wards and Sears catalogs. It was a little hard to get the clothes that actually fit the doll, but we made a game out if it. The one who got the best fit was the winner and got first pick of dolls and clothes that day. Our doll houses are cardboard boxes. So we're their beds. Shoe boxes made the best doll beds. My younger grand daughter told me that she wouldn't put handmade ornaments on her Christmas tree until she saw the ones I make. She changed her mind quucklynwhen she saw how professional mine were. I remember out tree with its hand made chain and popcorn garlands. My mom saved walnut shells that stayed in halves when shelled. She glued then together, wrapped them in tin foil and hung them on the tree using thread or pipe cleaners. Our ice cycles were from sardine tins. When you needed the key to pen the can. They were sharp and only mom could put these on and take them off of the tree.

[@craftEcreationz]

if a project is perfect, it isnt handmade, thanks Fiona for all the money saving tips, techniques and everything else that you show us. i am one of the ones who don't have much, so all these great tips help me ~Christy ps loved the umbrella and butterfly...gorgeous as always

[@kathlee3389]

Hi your video's are so inspirational & clever I have watched a lot, & like me you do lots of butterflies they are so beautiful. Keep up the excellent work thank you. X

[@72Grami82]

Thank you Fiona you are fun & interesting to listen too & your projects beautiful! You really do teach me a lot & help me to think in different ways. Love to hear your family stories & benefitting from your experiences. :•) Christine

[@melscreaties]

So glad to see you are crafting a lot again. I love to watch your videos. Again they look beautiful! I learn a lot of products i can use to make my own embellishments from your channel. Really love the umbrella. Greetings, Mel

[@sumfingtosay]

I love your tutorials and love the idea of not only saving money but actually creating / making my own embellishments. Tfs & take care 🌹

[@jansfield5314]

Its great to have someone understand not everyone has money but like nice and beautiful things, thank you, and its so satisfying to think wow I made that myself! Thank you so very much!!

[@scrappyjak1]

Beautiful projects again Fiona, through your tutorials I now look at things differently or think 'I'm not paying that I can make it myself' . TFS Hugs Jackie x

[@juliel1551]

gorgeous love the little umbrellas they are just so stinking cute. oh by the way if you run the needle through your hair it will make it go through the material easier

[@Tobywedinikki]

I have always loved you from the 1st video I saw but my dear lady I'm typing this out with tears in my eyes bc you are such a big hearted loving woman. I love you n you are a true blessing.

[@margarethedges2786]

I just love the umbrella.I am going to have to have a go at this one..I am on a pension and I thank you for all the time you put into showing us how to save money on a craft that we love to do.Thank you again.Meg Australia.

[@MissArtlover76]

Love this tutorial Fi!! Thank you very much :) xx

[@MaryMartinez-ty3gr]

Whaoooo!!!! Que divinos trabajos hermosos...te felicito jenn

[@MsLeebee2]

your such a wonderful human being pity there is not more like you You brighten up my life and I know you make the world a better place thank you so very much x

[@Tresohmee]

Thank you for considering those of us who need gorgeous embellishments such as yours but struggle to pay for them. I make designer gift bags & often don't get paid for my time, if even for the cost of making it because ppl don't realize how much embellishments cost. I have finally learned to tell folks they can go to the megamart & buy a bag there, but it won't be special like mine & have lost many sales but I can't afford to do things for free. Thanks to you I can maybe make a profit now!

[@PriscillaSwaney]

Everytime I watch you I think of the old saying, "waste not, want not". I enjoy watching your tutorials because you reaffirm that you can be an artist without running to the store for premade, prepackaged items. Just like your grandchildren, hopefully others are learning to make their own, they are originals not something made in a sweat shop somewhere. Thank you for sharing...you are really good. Hugs, hope you are feeling better, Penny

[@effie924]

my husband has cancer and not working at the moment I am here watching so i can learn to do things with what I have and then I fell in love with your videos. I cant afford the spending trips i used go on. I have tried many of your projects an added to a scrap page they are not perfect but they i think make my project more special. Thank you for all you do it is really sometimes more helpful then you will ever know. my hearts thanks to you always. effie

[@irisshubert]

Hello Fiona! Well I'm just sitting glued to my computer, fascinated by your abilities.I absolutely love your dragonflies and butterflies.That little parasol is just as cute as can be.I just had the most brilliant idea..You can come live in my craft room LOL Raymond and the girls are welcome any time ; )We could just craft the day away.My favorite videos are when you make your own embellishments.Even if I could afford all the "store bought", I'd rather have homemade.Good job! Iris, Saved by Grace

[@danine56]

Fiona how beautiful they all are ......especially the dragonflies did you a video on them ??? the brollie is lovely and very easy to make ......i have to tell you i went to my very first scrapbooking lesson (altered art) today so i finally got to make something and you just reminded me of the glue i had all over my fingers and i had that much crap stuck everywhere ,lol...i had so much fun i will get on here soon and show off my work of art lol.....Pauline x

[@Rosemary457]
