This issue we feature a delightful collection from Lucy Cromwell by Papermania, off ering all the cups of tea, cake and bunting you will need to set the scene. And just to prove how versatile this range is, you can also find it in our ‘Wedding Special’ feature and used to make a Father’s Day card in our ‘make a Father’s Day card’ challenge! Our ‘Wedding Special’ feature also includes jewellery for the bride and a charming idea to hold onto those precious memories of the big day!

Step by Step
1
Cut 5 lengths of silver cord 90cm long. Take 1 length leave about 6cm from the end and thread on an olive bead, then thread the cord back through the bead to hold it in place. Leave a small distance and add a turquoise bead, blue bead, turquoise bead then back to an olive bead, threading on the same way as the first and leaving a gap of 1-2cms between. Work back from the olive bead, matching up the same colour beads as you go until you have 9 beads on this cord. Copy this sequence onto the second cord.
2
On the 3rd and 4th cord, begin with a blue bead, then thread on a turquoise bead, blue, olive, turquoise, blue then the centre olive bead. Work back the colour sequence to the other end of the cord. On the 5th cord, thread on 8 sets of 3 of the blue and turquoise small beads. Hold the 5 beaded strands together with some masking tape. Twist and weave the 5 strands together.
3
Use a crimp bead on each side to attach the clasp and some chain for extra length. Cut any excess beading wire after squeezing the crimp beads closed.
