Why We Love This Tutorial: This is just a simple three strand braid, with some 8mm Tiger Eye beads and cute little ‘love’ beads mixed in. We’ve used one of the new Tiger Eye Tree Of Life Pendants as a focal point. You can make this as a multi-strand design (we have made two strands)…

Why We Love This Tutorial: One of the limitations of macrame is finding beads with holes big enough to fit one or more strands of cord through – but this tutorial solves that problem! It’s just a basic spiral knot (the same as a square knot, except you don’t change directions… in other words, a…

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’ve…

Why We Love This Tutorial: This tutorial is mostly about making a simple tassel from nylon cord. It is a very basic tassel that takes next to no time or skill to make. You can make them as large or small as you like – this one is relatively small at about 60mm, and is…

Why we love this tutorial: We have just started stocking these wonderful stainless steel hoop earring findings (after many requests!). They are so easy to use (just pull out the wire from the crimp attachment at the top), and slide on your beads! They even have a little hole if you would like to dangle…

Why we love this tutorial: Who doesn’t love a good cluster?! These earrings are quite simple really, combing a normal drop earring with the cluster technique. Clustering a bunch of small beads together gives a dramatic look that we can’t get enough of! In this design, we’ve used some of our beautiful new pastel gemstone…
