I'm a technical writer, so I have some tips.
Start each step with a verb (1. DO this.) followed by a photograph if necessary. Include any incidental information in a new indented paragraph (or two) under the step. Also, many tutorials I read have multiple steps combined in a single paragraph - it is best to break them out.
Consider breaking a very long tutorial into tasks or procedures. (e.g. Making the Cane [steps 1-10], Applying the Cane [steps 1-5], etc.)
Consider including small (about 2" x 3") well-cropped photos to let the user conserve ink and paper if they want to print the tut. Users can always magnify photos in pdf's if desired.
