I have no idea why I find it so hard to do a project that says it is easy to make..I am in the process of making something for my secret pal swap partner..What I am working on says its quick and easy..And it is..but not to me..(big sigh ) Does anyone else have this problem? The easiest it is, the harder it is?

A lot of times the instructions are not clearly written thus making something simple very difficult.

My daughter worked on a fractured giraffe, she just about pulled out her hair. It said it was easy.
Good luck on your project.

"Easy" is in the mind of the creator of the original project...they have "easy" fudge recipes too that will take you through 25 steps, lol.

You might have better luck just looking at the pictures and not trying to follow the directions.

Good luck

just remember that the designer made several so for every one made it becomes easietr and easier for him or her.
A designer also makes assumptions as they write instructions based on their experience.
