A picture is worth a thousand words so let’s make sure those words are good ones!
Part of the excitement of making something yourself is sharing it with others. Thanks to the internet we can easily do that in seconds without having to get dressed, clean our house or invite people over. I belong to several Facebook craft groups where we love to share pictures our crafts. It’s always fun seeing what other crafters are making and being able to answer questions when they get stumped. Along the way I have learned how to take pictures of crafts that only takes a few minutes, is very inexpensive and looks so much nicer.

Here is a perfect example of a common craft picture. This crafter has made two Halloween crafts and wants to share them with her friends.
Now, this is what she sees. She doesn’t notice all the clutter, she sees the crafts.
This is how others see her picture and what they are thinking. They can’t help it, it’s human nature, we’re curious!
So, how do we fix this? Simple, and it will only cost you around $1.00!
