Learn How to Make Designer Headpieces
Frequently Asked Questions
What beading components will I need?
Each course includes a list of materials used. You can purchase these from your local bead shops or online.
Do I need any tools?
You need a basic tool set, to cut and shape wire.
I’ve used only wire cutters, round nose pliers and chain nose pliers in most video tutorials.
These pliers are often sold as a set by bead store and online craft companies and are affordable.
Can I adjust any of the designs?
Yes, of course. You can choose beads in different colours and tweak the design any way you want. Your confidence will grow with each technique you learn.
How do I sign up?

About me:
I started making designer headpieces in 2006. My pieces have appeared in magazines, fashion shows, short films and on stage. I created bespoke headpieces and accessories for many weddings. I also designed bespoke accessories to be worn at special events such as Miss England and Miss World competition in Bali.
I am passionate about creative projects. When I am not designing jewellery, you might find me in the kitchen, working on one of my cookbooks, on in my crafts room, filming fun projects for YouTube.
