Tutorials
It's my great pleasure to share a few of the Mum Making skills that I have learned over the last ten years. Just like there are a million ways to paint a house, there are many different names and techniques used to create a beautiful Mum. These are just a few of the things that I've learned from my "Fairy Mum Mommas". I've been very fortunate to collaborate with Melissa, the owner and BRAINS behind Melz Mums. She has detailed written instructions on her blog for many mum making skills. I've linked her blog here. Happy Learning! MG
