Tutorial: Strawberry Crescent Rolls

These are seriously so easy to make. Even if you can't cook, you can make these! Here's what you will need to make these delicious crescent rolls:

- Fresh strawberries. Four strawberries were plenty to make eight rolls.
- A baking sheet
- Tin Foil
- Whatever brand of pre-made crescent roll dough you prefer. I used pillsbury for this tutorial, but I've also used just a regular store brand that worked just as well. I actually liked the store brand better, but that's just me.

Preheat your oven following the instructions on the tube of crescent rolls.

Cover your baking sheet in tinfoil for quick and easy cleanup.

Open your tube of crescent rolls and carefully separate them all out onto the baking sheet. Don't worry about the spacing; you can adjust it later. Make note of the cook time before throwing out the tube.

Cut up the strawberries into fairly small pieces. The smaller the pieces are, the more you can fit into the rolls.

Spread out the strawberries on the crescent rolls and then carefully roll them up starting with the wide end first.

Bake the crescent rolls as per the instructions on the tube. Typically, they'll need the longer part of the bake time range. They should be golden when you remove them from the oven.

Serve as soon as they are cool enough to eat.

I know this is a simple recipe, but it's really awesome. You should try it. Let me know what you think!
Thanks for bumping along with me through my first tutorial. Currently all my crafting stuff is still in boxes waiting to be unpacked, so we'll get to the craftiness as soon as I am able to unpack.

Obligatory First Post

There's always a beginning. In movies, the beginning often starts with some sort of awkward scene to draw you in. I'm going to attempt to draw you into this post without the awkward scene, so let's just jump right on in.

She Makes What She Wants is a DIY blog written by an, currently, eighteen year old who went to art school for a year in the Big Apple and then decided to move back home to Georgia. Not necessarily because she enjoys Georgia, but because that is where she grew up and where her family resides. My name is Rachel. 

I would just like to say right now that I had written like five paragraphs and then decided to delete them.

I would also like to just kind of make you aware that I have a bit of ADHD, and I tend to jump around a lot in the middle of conversations. So please let me know if anything I say makes absolutely no sense. 

I am not entirely sure what this blog is going to be composed of besides hopefully a lot of fun projects and tutorials. I often become obsessed and buy a ton of one particular material, so hopefully I'll have a lot of stash busters too. I will say that there will probably be a lot of jewelry on this blog made up of pretty much any material that I can find. This will most likely be a blog with a ton of projects for accessories... I love accessories. There will be a good variety of techniques as well. I'm a sewer, but I'm also a heavy duty crafter and love finding new mediums to use and new things to make. There might even be cooking too. Who knows! I make what I want! And if you don't really feel like making any of the projects, but want one, chances are I'll post it on my etsy site. http://radrayray.etsy.com 

So here's to beginnings and figuring things out! Life is one big awkward moment, but at least we have people to share it with!
