For each project you can order all the necessary beads, threads and findings by choosing Project Packs from the menu on the left.
We also produce a range of over 200 Beading Kits, which come complete with full instructions and all the beads and thread you need to make the design pictured and a range of Starter Packs which contain technique instructions and guidelines and all the beads, threads etc you need to make a number of items to your own designs.
Projects
New for August we have a twisted wire necklace in a technique that will easily adapt itself to make a matching bracelet and earrings as well, and a delicate necklace and a matching pair of earrings using chain as a feature to create a soft draping set. The Evie necklace and earrings both use techniques covered in the techniques sheets for Loops and Linking and Working with Chain and Linking
The following six designs are ideas for necklace and bracelet sets using either Tigertail or Soft flex beading wire. All the sets are available in a choice of two colourways. If you are quite new to beading you will find the Threading with Beading Wires download useful to introduce you to the technique. We also have a fun Fairy Necklace and Bracelet Set - quick to make and really pretty for the summer - which uses techniques from the Loops and Linking and Threading with Thong downloads.
 
Fairy Necklace and Earring Set
The next three projects all use needle and thread, if you are quite new to beading you will find the Working with Beading Threads download useful to introduce you to the technique.
The next two projects also use needle and thread, with some wire linking for the central features as well.
The two techniques sheets you may want are Working with Beading Threads and Loops and Linking
The next two project sets - the Carnival and Pearly Lariat below - both use Loops and Linking in different ways.
The Carnival includes Threading with Beading Wires, and the Lariat Threading with Thong
The Pearly Queen and Stranded Wire sets use techniques not covered in any of the sheets, even if you are a complete beginner all you need to know is in the download
The final four projects have all been made by either knitting with fine coloured wire or manipulating pre-knitted wire. For the two bracelets you will need some basic knowledge of knitting, just enough to cast on, knit, and cast off. Each of these projects is either complete step-by-step, or, simple guidelines that you can then add your own individual touch to. If you have enjoyed these and would like to try some more ideas take a look at the Knitted Wire Starter Boxes (Kits – Starter Packs).
For each project you can order all the necessary beads, findings and threads by choosing Project Packs from the menu on the left.
