Sparkle a little bit every day


My motto in life and the name of my handmade jewellery business.

Within the jewellery-making community we have always said that people who start making jewellery with seed beads have crossed over to the dark side. 
I want to Sparkle on the Dark Side and show you how to make jewellery and ornaments using seed beads mixed with a little bit of sparkle.

Please note that the paid patterns are NOT instant downloads. They will be emailed to you as soon as I can after ordering but may take a few hours depending on the time of day. This is a manual process (not automatic) so thank you for your patience whilst I send your purchase over to you.
BEADING SKILL

All my patterns are suitable for everyone, including beginners as well as more advanced beaders. Most are not "easy" designs and some may seem extremely complicated at first glance but the patterns are very detailed with lots of clear step-by-step diagrams along with precise written instructions and are very easy to follow. All my patterns are written in English and use UK terms.

CATEGORIES

The patterns are arranged in various categories to make it easier to find what you are looking for. Some items may appear in more than one category. You can click on the above pictures to go to each pattern category or use the menu on the left. Each category has a banner across the top of the page containing photos from some of the patterns. If you move your cursor over each picture within the banner without clicking it will tell you which pattern it is from.

PAPERBACK AND KINDLE 

Many of my patterns are available from Amazon for Kindle and some are available as a paperback book. I am in the process of adding a direct link to the UK Amazon listing on each pattern page. I can only link to the UK site so if you are no in the UK then please search for the title in your local Amazon site. 


HOW TO PURCHASE 

This site uses a secure PayPal shopping basket (cart). You do not need a PayPal account to use this, you can also pay as a guess using a credit or debit card and I will never see your card details. 
Click on the yellow "add to cart" button underneath the main photo to add the pattern to the shopping basket. You can delete items later after adding them to the basket. 
Patterns are NON-REFUNDABLE including duplicates so please take care that you have selected the correct item before purchasing. If you have accidentally bought a repeat of one that you already have then contact me and I can send you a different pattern instead so that you don't lose out.

PATTERN FORMAT

All the paid patterns on this website are digital patterns supplied in the form of a PDF which will be emailed to the email address given to me by PayPal on your order within 24 hours. They are NOT instant downloads. You are not purchasing the beadwork or any materials or supplies with the pattern and you will not receive a printed version. 
Depending on your printer, they may not be suitable for printing due to transparent image backgrounds which some printers cannot handle, as well as due to their large size with lots of pages. I regret that I cannot provide a printed version. 
Free patterns can be downloaded instantly from the appropriate page.

Hope you have fun!
