Riverside Bead Box #70 – 7 Strand Flower Braiding Kit

Monthly Beading Subscription Box UK | Necklace & Bonus Beaded Cat Earrings

Discover another jewellery making technique with Riverside Bead Box #70 – 7 Strand Flower Braiding Kit. Perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike, this complete beading kit introduces the relaxing art of 7 Strand Braiding, combined with beautiful beads and delicate floral embellishments to create an elegant piece of handmade jewellery.

Originally designed as part of the Riverside Bead Box subscription, this project is now available as a one-off kit, making it the perfect opportunity to try one of our exclusive monthly designs.

🌸 Learn the Art of 7 Strand Braiding

Designed in collaboration with jewellery designer Caron Ballantyne, this month’s project teaches you the traditional technique of 7 Strand Braiding using the Riverside exclusive 7 Strand Braiding Disk.

Although the finished braid looks beautifully intricate, the technique is surprisingly easy to master. Once you’ve learnt the simple repeating movement, you’ll quickly find yourself relaxing into the rhythm of the braid.

To give the project a distinctive Riverside touch, we’ve added delicate beads and floral details to create a fresh, elegant design that’s perfect for late summer and beyond.
