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 two lengths of stretchy cord longer than your wrist, allow extra length for finishing the bracelet!
2
Thread the top of a spacer onto one thread and the bottom of the same spacer onto the other thread. The cord should now be parallel to each other, joined by the spacer.
3
Thread four beads onto each cord, followed by another spacer. Repeat the pattern until the bracelet is long enough to fit around your wrist. Tip: For larger wrists, use a series of five or six red beads instead of four each time.
4
When the beading has reached the desired length, double knot the bottom cord together between your fingers and then double knot the ends of the top cord. Tip: You may need a friend to hold the ends of one of the cords, whilst you tie the other knot! Trim excess stretchy cord and position the knots inside one of the beads or a spacer to hide.
