Holiday weekend approaches, the flags are flying, and we have done our beady best to join in by designing some pretty jewellery making kits in red, white and blue for the royal occasion!  The leather wristband is available with either a red heart bead or a nice “royal”  blue pandora bead. It is so simple to make, only a small pair of flat or chain nose pliers is needed to close  the leather thong clamps. The whole thing can be finished in under 5 minutes. We’ve got some nifty bead bracelets too made on stretch magic elastic so no tools at all are required for these. We have used lovely cut glass sparkly beads for them mixed with a few feature beads, other beads used include, miyuki cubes, Foiled glass hearts and sparkling stardust beads.  The  necklace making  kits have options with a swinging tassel pendant or a regal crown charm, you can also make a patriotic stretch bracelet with three charms.  If you want a new hobby for the bank holiday weekend, you could give jewellery making a go with our pretty and patriotic kits.
