DOCRAFTS CREATIVITY MAGAZINE ISSUE 33 MAY/JUN 2012
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 a long piece of wire (approx 60”) and fold in half. Thread a crimp bead onto both strands and pull the crimp bead to the end of the wires leaving a small loop. Crimp the bead closed using flat nosed pliers.
2
Using a jump ring attach one end of your heart clasp.
3
Thread onto both wires 3 silver seed beads and one light and one dark crystal beads.
4
Separate the wires and thread 15 seed beads onto each wire. On the left strand thread one light blue and one dark blue bead. Thread the right hand wire back through the crystals forming a loop.
5
Repeat this process 12 times then thread 15 seed beads onto each strand then hold the wires together and thread on one light blue crystal, one dark blue crystal and three seed beads onto both strands.
6
Thread a crimp bead onto both wires and form another loop by feeding the wire back through the crimp and close the crimp bead. Cut off any excess wire neatly.
7
Attach the other end of the clasp to this loop using a jump ring.
