This beautiful "Dia de los Muertos" jewellery making kit contains a colourful collection of glass, porcelain and stone beads, with sugar skulls and symbollic beads and charms, to create joyful jewellery in the style of the 'day of the dead' celebration of life!
 
The simple tool-free techniques and clear instructions make this handmade jewellery making kit suitable for complete beginners, whilst experienced jewellery makers will love the gorgeous collection of materials, including European-style (large hole) beads, faux suede cords, glass and metal charms, tassels and findings, providing plenty with which to design and create.
 
The kit comes beautifully presented in a glass jar too, making a very pretty present or delightful decoration whilst you're waiting to get started!
 
From charm bracelets to chokers, lariats to anklets, bag danglers to even a bookmark, you can choose how you wish to use the bountiful collection of materials to realise your own pieces - no specialist tools needed (just a pair of scissors to cut the cord). Using the pre-assembled findings included, a few basic knots and maybe a fancy decorative knot too, you can create simple and stunning jewellery and accessories. There's plenty of materials included to easily make 10 or more items: how many pieces you make depends on your designs. Full step-by-step instructions are included to show you how to form 5 different jewellery making knots, together with ideas for how you could assemble different style pieces, which you can easily adapt to create your own designs. There’s also a plastic needle to help push the cord through the beads when using the cord doubled up.
 
Whether you are making items for yourself or as gifts for others, you may choose to follow a single style or experiment with different patterns and designs: you could create simple pieces focusing on a single bead; sweetie-style charm bracelets brimming with beads and charms; boho lariats and bag danglers using long lengths of cord; or maybe incorporate some fancy knotwork as a design feature.
