This tea light cover is a great choice for that special romantic event, whether it be a wedding, engagement, anniversary, Valentine’s dinner or just a nice evening in. A colour chart and a word chart are provided so that you can use which you prefer.

The tubular peyote cover is made using 2 colours of Delica beads and the hearts are then made using mainly size 11 seed beads in the same colours. A size 8 seed bead is used at the point of each heart, but a size 11 bead could be used instead.

I joined the hearts using jewellery elastic for a snug fit, but you could sew them together if you wanted to.

The kit is now available for £21.50 and includes all the beads, needles, thread and elastic needed. You will need to provide your own LED tea light and add a dab of your own jewellery glue (or clear nail varnish) to secure the knot in the elastic.

Alternatively, you can use your own materials and the pattern is available as a download or printed copy for £9.95.

We have added the following new beads to our range of Czech 30mm bugles and 3mm fire polished round beads.

Hip, hip, hurray! I have finally managed to find a new supplier for these glorious bugles. Delivery now unpacked and they are now available in the 10g packs. It also means that I will be able to make up some more fringe bead packs for Marleena.

I will be opening up a new afternoon bead group on 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month. 1.30-4.00pm. £3.50 per session, including refreshments. Bring your own project for an afternoon of beading, chat and inspiration.Starting date: Wednesday 7th September.There are 3 places still available.Please email kathryn@halfpenney.co.uk if you want to join us.

Hot on the heels of the new colour, Champagne, I have now also added Lilac to the range. This was originally requested as a custom kit by Elaine so between us we worked out the best bead combination. When I saw her finished tea light – only a few days later(!) – I decided I just had to include it as a kit. I hope you agree that it well worth it.

To make room for the 2 new colours, I have decided to take out the Ice Blue and Red & White kits. So, while current stocks last, you can get them for £12.50 each. The beads used in these kits will still be included in the pattern and bead packs (or kits) can be made up on request.

We have added these sizes to match with the size 11 seed bead 11HM4205 and Delica bead DB1835.

Champagne bubbles were the inspiration for this new colourway of our popular tea light kit and I have found the ideal 8mm bead to match in with the Delicas and seed beads. We had a delivery yesterday so I’m now making up more of the colours too.

The picture below shows the new Champagne colour next to the original Cream & Gold.

These small silver-coloured date charms are ideal to add to decorations and keep-sakes. They are just 14mm wide and 6mm high (excluding loop) so will not detract from your decoration. Overall height including loop is 9mm.

Available individually or in packs of 10.

These 6 gorgeous new colours have arrived and are now available in both 10g bags and by the gram, so you can order just what you need.
