Bring a little Bahamian colour and creativity to your craft table.

Create a beautiful coastal keepsake with the Quesbo Junkanoo Conch Bloom Pendant Craft Guide. A layered cream conch shell sits among eight alternating coral and aqua petals, framed by tiny gold felt drops and painted cream dots on a teal background.

A softly padded body and flowing coral, aqua and gold tassel complete the design. Enjoy making every element by hand, from the shell’s overlapping curves to the neatly bound tassel, and turn simple materials into a decorative piece to display or give.

Inspired by the colour and creativity of Junkanoo in The Bahamas, this detailed project combines felt appliqué, hand sewing and tassel making.
