Happy April everyone. I can hardly believe another month has passed already, the year is going so quickly. A warm welcome to all our new friends both on the blog and our ever expanding facebook group. Beaders really are the nicest people!
A usual we will have a 2 part challenge - tutorial and theme, however from this month the rules will change slightly. We have decided to limit the amount of times you can enter. You can add 3 entries for each part of the challenge - so that is 6 in total. You can still make more than this and share on our facebook page but they will not be eligible for the random draw. Hopefully this will make it is as fair as possible for everyone to be in with a chance of winning.
As usual we have a £15 voucher from Beads Direct, our wonderful sponsors, to spend at their online store. They have some really fabulous products at very competitive prices plus lots of great tutorials and inspiration.
So who is ready to bead?? Here we go ......
Theme - A Jewellery Set
This can be any set of jewellery you have made but not yet shared on your blog or Facebook. Items must be coordinating. Please note earrings count as one piece of jewellery.

Tutorial - 8 warp Kumihimo
Feel free to use S-Lon, Rat tail or beads on your kumihimo creations. You can also add charm carriers with pretty charms for a fun look.
Here is a video tutorial from Beads Direct, our sponsors showing how to make a basic 8 warp Kumihimo bracelet. They have a great starter kit for sale if you are new to this technique.
