they're easy LOL- did floristry at night school before I had ds1. (I am a collection of qulaifications / training- floristry, DIY, beauty therapy, care, Psychology, fundraising......LOL tis my hobby)
Have you been to hobbycraft? They have how to leaflets on most crafts. Their website also has loads of info for beginners.
Also look on ebay (you'd be amazed at the size of their arts and crafts section!), look at the docrafts website for papercrafts, or you can get lots of crafts magazines now with starter projects. I could send you a couple of old ones if you'd like, might take a week or two until pay day LOL!
