Come to learn a new technique, work on a favourite hobby or just enjoy a few hours away from everyday life.

From beginners trying their first jewellery project to experienced beaders discovering their next technique, everyone starts somewhere.

💜 Never Tried a Riverside Bead Box? This month is a great place to start!

If you've been watching our monthly Bead Box reveals and wondering what all the excitement is about, September is a wonderful opportunity to give one a try.

This month's main project is Snow Queen Lizzy 👑❄️

You'll use a beadable doll frame and a combination of bead weaving stitches to gradually create her beautiful beaded dress.

PLUS you'll have our Angel in Bloom Earrings bonus project to enjoy too. 🌸

Our remaining September boxes are available as a one-off purchase, so there's no need to subscribe to give the Bead Box experience a try.

But be warned... you might find yourself wondering what we're creating next! 👀

Shop yours while remaining stocks last.

🎨 FOUR TABLES… FOUR TUTORS… FOUR VERY DIFFERENT CRAFTS!

One of our favourite things about the Winter Crafternoon Tea is giving you the chance to try lots of different creative techniques in one day.

You’ll rotate around our activity tables and meet some of our fabulous tutors:

🌸 Sam – Beaded Festive Flowers
✨ Roberta – Festive Charm Bracelet
🎨 Shirley – Festive Stamping Craft Project
🧶 Eve Marshall – Needle Felted Christmas Cards

Each tutor will guide you through their project step-by-step, so you can relax, enjoy the process and hopefully discover a new craft you love.

And after your four main projects…

Donna & Zack have a little something extra planned. 👀

🎁 BONUS FESTIVE EARRINGS!

Plus, of course, a delicious Winter Afternoon Tea. It’s going to be a wonderfully crafty day. ❄️❤️

👑 One Box. Two Beautiful Projects. 🌸

There's even more hiding inside our September Riverside Bead Box!

Your main project is our beautiful Snow Queen Lizzy, created around a beadable doll frame with an intricately beaded dress.

But we've also included a gorgeous bonus project – Angel in Bloom Earrings. 🌸✨

It's one of the things we love about creating our Bead Boxes. We want to give you more than simply a bag of beads – each month is about inspiration, learning techniques and discovering new ideas that you can use again in future projects.

A limited number of September boxes are available as a one-off purchase, so you can enjoy this month's designs without subscribing.

Which would you make first – Lizzy or the earrings? 👇
