I'm in desperate need of a trip to the beach. In order to get ready I decided to share my favorite surf side picks. Just looking at these will hold me over until I get my toes in the sand.

Input Please


I'm working on adding new products to my site and was thinking of some creative ways to show my product. When I first designed my website I really wanted to do illustrated silhouettes with the actual shirts on them. But I threw out the idea for some reason. Now I'm back to it. What do you think? Illustrated silhouette or actual photo? Which draws your attention?

Thanks,
Stephanie

everyone. This is my first attempt at video tutorials, so please be kind I was
nervous. Hope you find this informative, and I'd love to see pictures if you try it out.

Below is a list of materials that you can print and take to the store.

Supplies:

Let me know what you think about the tutorial. Have fun.
