For those of you new to our challenge yourself competition here’s what its about…

Each month we announce a challenge for you and your friends to create by using our products. The winner of our monthly challenge will get the opportunity to have their design advertised by us on our website, blog, newsletter, facebook and twitter and for this competition there will be a prize of a £50 gift voucher to spend on our site.

We decided to do something slightly different this time and instead of introducing a theme for you to work around we have put together a £5 challenge yourself pack (plus p&p). The contents will vary from pack to pack, but will all contain craft wire and beads. The challenge is to use only the contents of this pack to make your design.

So if you’ve got what it takes to take the challenge then visit us now at www.londonjewellerysupplies.co.uk to purchase your pack.

The closing date for the competition will be Sunday 13^th May 2012.  Entries can be emailed to us at the following address – info@londonjewellerysupplies.co.uk or posted on our facebook page.

Remember the winner gets their design advertised by us, as well as receiving the prize of a £50 gift voucher to spend on our site (all usual London Jewellery Supplies terms and conditions apply)

So get your pliers to the ready, the inspiration following and get creating.

Challenge Yourself Competition

So here it is – our first ‘Challenge Yourself’ competition details. 

Each month we will announce a challenge for you and your friends to create by using our products. The winner of our monthly challenge will get the opportunity to have their design advertised by us on our website, blog, newsletter, facebook, twitter as well as having this made into a kit.

So what’s the first challenge you may be wondering….well we decided to make things a little easier that we would give you a little helping hand by announcing a theme of some sort….

This month just so you can get your wonderful creative fingers warmed up we have decided to make the theme a bracelet using the birthstone colour for March which is Aqua.  To add a little twist we thought that a touch of knitted wire would be excellent.

So the challenge is to make a bracelet using a combination of the colour Aqua (blue) and knitted wire (you may of course add other elements to it, but it must contain these two also).  The products MUST be brought from our site www.londonjewellerysupplies.co.uk – if there is something you cannot find, drop us a line, as we probably have it in stock but have not had a chance to get it on our site as yet.

The closing date for the competition will be Sunday 18^th March 2012.  Entries can be emailed to us at the following address – info@londonjewellerysupplies.co.uk or posted on our facebook page.

Remember the winner gets their design advertised by us, as well as having the opportunity of having it made into a kit (terms and conditions apply).

So get set, warm up those fingers, get some inspiration flowing and get designing!
