Why We Love This Tutorial: Fast but fancy… that just about sums up why we love this tutorial so much! This cuff/bangle only takes about 15 minutes to make after you have selected your beads. What’s more, you can use almost any beads you like with this design… we’ve used some cute little moss agate…

Why We Love This Tutorial: This is a simply strung, long necklace that you can complete in less than an hour! We would often knot between each gemstone bead with this style of necklace, but by using tiny 15/0 seed beads we get the same effect with a lot less effort (and time, yay!). We…

Why we love this tutorial: How sweet are these?! I love the dainty look of these earrings, particularly with the beaded ‘petals’ around the outside of the frame. They have a very old-fashioned feel to them, which I am definitely appreciating! These are quite easy to make – simple wrapping of wire is all that…

Why we love this tutorial: Who doesn’t love the boho look?! We are by no means claiming this design as our own – I have seen versions of these knotted leather earrings everywhere! But they are super easy to make and obviously on trend right now! Plus, they can be made from almost any mixed…

Why We Love This Tutorial: For once, I wasn’t lazy when making a long Mala style necklace! And by that I mean, I have actually knotted between the beads as opposed to using tigertail and 15/0 seed beads. I have used 0.8mm nylon thread, but you could also use silk or cotton cord. Beads and…

Why We Love This Tutorial: Here we have another long necklace that is simply strung on tigertail. We would often knot between each bead with this style of necklace, but by using tiny 15/0 seed beads we get the same effect with a lot less effort (and time, yay!). We have used some of the…

Why we love this tutorial: How simple and easy is this?! I love making memory wire bracelets – simply thread on your beads, loop the ends, and you’re done! I tend to make quite random patterned memory wire bracelets; I like the combination of all the different shapes and colours. For example, this bracelet is…

Why we love this tutorial: This tutorial combines a couple of my all-time favourite techniques – dangles, and wired hoop earrings! Just like almost all of our designs, it is very versatile in that you could use any large-ish feature bead in the centre, with any small (4mm to 7mm) beads as the dangles. In…
