Christmas decorations with a difference

I'm pleased to see my 2nd tassel booklet on our website. It has 3 great Christmas tassels for you to make.
You can buy the booklet on its own for £8.95 or as a kit with all materials for £28.50.
If you have not got the Clover Tassel Maker yet, then you can get this with the kit as a bundle for just £36.50 - a saving £8.45 if you bought everything individually.
Materials packs for each individual tassel are also available to purchase separately.
You can find all the information on the Tassel Making page of our website at http://www.halfpenney.co.uk/beadtassels

 

Your Christmas Parcels have arrived!

These cute little decorations are great to hang on the tree or adorn your festive table. Once you have got the hang of circular and tubular peyote (full instructions with diagrams are provided), then you will make them up in no time at all.

If you are new to the stitch I would recommend that you have a go at the Curly Top first as the contrast colour in the corners make the design easy to follow.

The full kits are available for £8.50 each or buy all 3 for £22.50 from here (P&P £1.80 or free if order is over £15.00).

You can also download just the pattern for £4.25 each or get 1 download with all 3 designs for just £10.00 from here.

October's new clasps

We spotted some new clasps and I couldn't resist getting just a few.

The fluted clasps are a nice change from the plan variety and add that extra shine to the ends of your bracelet.

These vertical loops are so different and it means there are now more ways to close those wider bracelets when the normal horizontal loop clasps just won't do. They are available in different sizes and it's likely we will add some more of them to the range soon.

October's new seed beads

We have also added some more 8s, 11s and 15s to our Miyuki seed bead range. We get asked so often for different sizes of the same colour, we thought we would have a go and see what we could come up with. Remember to let us know if there is something you can't find, we're always happy to try and get it.
