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
Thread each sodalite pill bead onto a silver eye pin, and finish with a turned loop as close to the bead as possible. Thread a glass heart and a large crystal (from the same set) onto a seventh eye pin, finishing with a turned loop. Make sure all the loops are completely closed.
2
Remove two small links from the Symbolize chain and attach one to a length of beading wire at least 35cm long using a loop in the wire, secured with a crimp bead.
3
Thread a faceted round metal bead onto the wire, then pass it through the turned loop at the end of one of the pill beads. Alternating between faceted round metal beads and drilled freshwater pearls, add seven more beads and pass the wire through the turned loop at the other end of the pill bead. You now have an arc of beads around one side of the pill bead. Pass the wire through the turned loop of a second pill bead and repeat the arc of beads on the opposite side. Continue with a third pill bead, then the heart, then the remaining three pill beads.
4
When you’ve passed the wire through the last turned loop, add one more faceted round metal bead, and finish by attaching the end of the wire to the second Symbolize chain link using a wire loop secured with a crimp bead. Make sure you pull through any spare wire, so the turned loops are not too visible.
5
Attach additional chain links to each end if required, and finish with a heart toggle clasp.
