Texture & Shine has entered the chat.

If last week was all about picking your colors, this week we’re turning up the drama—cue Meredith from The Parent Trap strutting in her all-white suit and fabulous hat.

That’s the vibe of cording with texture and shine.

Building on what you learned in Weeks 2 and 3 (scale & color), we’re experimenting with thinner cords, playful fibers, and just the right mix of stretch and sparkle.

All I ask is that you follow this one rule: you have to love how it looks.

🎁 Because I love a good plot twist and it’s our BIRTHDAY MONTH(!!!), make sure to check the bottom of the homework this week… there’s a special surprise waiting for members (hint: a shiny little goodie bag to keep your cords looking fabulous).

Stay tuned for next week, we are talking all about beaded cording + toppers. Make sure you are subscribed so you don’t miss out!

Got Cording Questions?

Drop your questions in the comments (or in the club chat) and I’ll work them into future lessons + posts.

No question is too small — if you’ve wondered it, chances are someone else has too!
