🎆 Let's Get this Twig Pendant Party Started!
Thanks so much for your patience, Reader. I'm very pleased to announce that the Twig Pendant Make-Along officially begins now. Hooray! 🙌
Part 1 of the Twig Pendant MAL went live on my YouTube channel just moments ago, so be sure to watch. Also, I've created some additional resources for you. First, you'll find a handy project resource guide on my blog, which includes shoppable links to all the tools and materials that I use to make my own Twig Pendants.
Secondly, there's a new and improved Twig Pendant project workbook!
What's that, you ask? Well, it's a more functional written tutorial, which includes:
- Complete instructions for making the Twig Pendant
- Quick links to all the tools and resources you'll need to make this project successfully
- Plenty of space to record your own project notes so you can keep track of any design modifications that you make
What if you've already purchased the original Twig Pendant tutorial?
The written instructions haven't changed all that much. I just clarified a couple of points and added some additional tips. So, if you're already comfortable making this design, there's no need to upgrade to the new project workbook. Of course, if you think the workbook will be helpful, you can always upgrade anytime!
That being said, the workbook will be available at a 25% discount exclusively through the links that I provide via email, on my blog, and on my YouTube channel for a limited time. That's because the workbook isn't entirely complete just yet. I'll continue to update it with links to Parts 2 and 3 of the video series as those videos are released. Then, once the entire video series is live on my channel, I'll make the workbook available everywhere, including my Etsy shop, at full price.
As a Door 44 subscriber, you get the early bird savings. And I'll even send you an updated copy of the final workbook, once the video series is complete. So, grab your discounted copy of the Twig Pendant MAL Workbook. Then hit the play button below to follow along with me while I guide you through the process of creating my most popular design.
That's all for today, my friend. I'll be back next week with Part 2 of this series. And until then, I'll be available to answer questions in the comments section of my YouTube channel.
Oh, one last thing before I sign off. If you don't want to use a torch, Part 3 of this series is just for you! I'm going to show you how to make a beautiful torch-free version of this design. So, be sure to stay tuned for that fun Twig Pendant variation!

Hi, Reader! Do you like to wear scarves? I was never a fan until I learned to crochet a few years ago. But now I'm completely obsessed.

The only problem is that I don't like wearing necklaces and scarves together. So, I always find myself debating between a scarf or a necklace when I get dressed in the morning. It's such a tough call some...
