beading classes

A few special beading classes are scheduled for this Spring.  These are classes that I don't teach often but I am in the mood to teach them again.
                                        
                                                     BLOOMING CRYSTALS BRACELET

April 15th  1:00 to 4:00  teaching fee $15.00.  Kit $49.95 - includes everything needed to make this charming crystal bracelet.  There are a couple of colors to pick from - first come first serve. 



                                                    NEW AGE MACRAME NECKLACE

MAY 20TH  1:00 to 4:00     Teaching fee:  $15.00 

This necklace can be made with many types of beads, shells, found objects etc.  You just need a hole big enough for the stringing cord to go through.  The sample necklace was made with pressed glass beads from Czech Repblic and Japanese seed beads plus the bead stringing cord.  Each student must bring what they want to string (beads etc.)





                
           
                                                                        PEARL CHARM BRACELET
