Avoid Over-Spending With Simple Flower Craft Tutorials for Spring

Northbrook, IL —  It has been estimated that Americans spent around $32.1 billion on retail flowers and related goods in 2011.  According to ResearchAmerica.org, this amount of money is enough to fund the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for nearly seven years.  It has been predicted that this high-level spending is due mainly to expenses from Mother’s Day, wedding receptions, and other holidays. It can be assumed that the billion dollar American flower industry will only continue to grow, leaving one to wonder; how can Americans avoid over-spending?

In order to avoid spending an overwhelming amount of money on flowers each year, Americans must find a reasonable alternative to purchasing fresh flowers for every occasion. One of the most rational solutions is to make fabric flowers or flowers from paper. This handmade alternative will help save hundreds of dollars on celebrations and home decor, and because these flowers are reusable, you will not need to replace them again and again. Instead of buying fresh flowers for home decor, to decorate a wedding reception, or to make mom happy, try making your own flowers crafts.

Creating your own flowers from paper or fabric is a favorable option to help maintain a budget for every holiday; especially with the latest free eBook, 10 Free Flower Tutorials: How to Make Fabric Flowers, Flowers from Paper, and More, from AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com. This free eBook includes 10 different flower crafts, pretty enough to replace fresh flowers in the home all together. Leave flowers for your garden, and spend less when you decorate. It is the most reasonable way to avoid over-spending on decorations that will only last a few days. The editors of AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com have collected the easiest, thriftiest, and most entertaining paper flower and fabric flower crafts in this free eBook. Plus, you won’t see your money wasted when your expensive fresh flowers die.

From fabric flowers to flowers from paper, the collection in 10 Free Flower Tutorials: How to Make Fabric Flowers, Flowers from Paper, and More will help save you money on holidays, celebrations, and other events that require floral decor.

To download a free copy of the Free Flower Tutorials eBook, simply visit: http://www.allfreeholidaycrafts.com/Spring-Crafts/10-Free-Flower-Tutorials-How-to-Make-Fabric-Flowers-Flowers-from-Paper-and-More-eBook.

Mosey up to Cowboy Trend with New RecipeLion eCookbook

Northbrook, IL — Cowboys are having a moment in the sun right now. From cowboy boots on the fashion runways to new cowboy films coming soon to a theater near you, it seems everything “western” in on trend at the moment. Cooking is no exception, as cowboy cuisine has been seeing an increase in popularity lately. In a December 2012 survey conducted by RecipeLion.com, cowboy recipes were listed as one of the top three food trends that most interested visitors to the site.

The popularity of cowboy culture is most evident when looking at the recent movies to come out of Hollywood. In just the past few years, there have been a slew of Western-inspired flicks including Cowboys & Aliens (2011), Rango (2011), Dawn Rider (2012), Django Unchained (2012) and the upcoming Disney-produced version of The Lone Ranger (out July 2013).

Noticing this increased interest in all things cowboy, the editors of RecipeLion.com have created a brand new recipe collection of Western inspired dishes. In Classic Cowboy Recipes: 27 Authentic Western Recipes (available for free download), anyone can learn how to cook like a cowboy. From Western appetizer recipes to sweet country-style dessert recipes and everything in between, the dishes in this cowboy recipe collection will take home cooks on a culinary tour of the Wild West and introduce them to new and exciting cowboy-inspired meal ideas. Inside this 42-page eCookbook, find easy recipes for delicious dishes including Montana Cowboy Stew, Cowboy Chicken Pizza, Southwestern Wagonwheel Pasta, Beef Nacho Casserole, Western Butter Biscuits, Cowpoke Pudding and more.
