Default Pressed Karma bead tutorial

Hi everybody!

Today I want to share our free E-Book with you. The Dutch beadmaker Patricia explains, how she makes beads with my Karma Deluxe Tool. You can use the technique for every press that has a raised decoration, not just for mine.



Her beads look like this (many more pictures in the book):



The Tutorial can be downloaded for free. There is a German, Dutch and English version available. Klick here:

Patricia's Karma Tutorial

The tutorial can also be found in Patricia's Etsy shop. It costs one Dollar there (it's not possible to add items for free), which Patricia will put into her baby's piggy bank (the baby will come in November). If you already downloaded the file and liked it, you could feed the pig with a small donation per Paypal to info[at]cocobeads.eu. This is optional, of course!

Please let me know how you like the tutorial!

Have fun,

Kati

Thanks for the tutorial. I bought the press months ago, but haven't played with it yet.

Thanks Katie and Patricia for sharing the detailed tutorial - I have not tried my Karma Deluxe or Imagine press but I am looking forward to giving it a go now.

Thank you all...I am so happy that you like the tutorial and the press. For our first birthday, we released a smaller version of the tool, called Karma Delight. I announced it here.

Have a great day,

I played with the new press from Kati this week and I love it!
It's the Karma Delight, the same Shape as de Karma Deluxe I use in this tutorial, but it is smaller.
