How To Make Jewellery With Tatty Devine

We’re incredibly excited about the new Tatty Devine book that we’ve been working on over the summer. It is been designed by Design Beckon’s very own Nina Ziegler.

This beautifully written and designed book includes practical DIY techniques for creating your own necklaces, earrings, rings, cuffs and more, as well as some top, creative tips and insider knowledge from Tatty Devine’s founders, Rosie Wolfenden and Harriet Vine.
