How to make beautiful beaded jewellery
You don’t have to spend a fortune on new clothes to update your look. Accessorising is a simple way to introduce colour and interest to an outfit. This season, gypsy-inspired jewellery is everywhere, and the good news is these kinds of pieces are easy to create yourself. Why not host a jewellery-making evening? Buy some beads, chains and jewellery pliers, then invite friends over to join in the fun. To help you get started, Lincraft is giving every reader a free packet of their Shamrock beads. Click here for more info. See below for instructions on how to make gorgeous beaded earrings, necklaces and bracelets; or download and print out the instructions in full colour.

| I picked up my free beads this morning, with a few extras in my favourite green. A few hours later I met with friends with my new bracelet and necklace! What a 'boho' girl I've become! |

| Well done for responding to remote readers pleas for help in getting the Lincraft freebies. Sending away for them is the perfect solution. |

| I am really enjoying your whole mag, but my main love is craft. I am looking forward to making the above bracelets but I must say that I feel ripped off because I live in a country town with no Lincraft stores near by so I can't get the free beads to start me off... |

| My two daughters are enjoying the magazine as much as me . We all knitted the scarf from last months issue and are looking forward to making some jewellery . |
