In all honesty- I bought my blanks at Hobby Lobby because we
didn’t have them when I was making the sample. They are part of the My Findings
line there and go 50% every so often. Bring more than you think you need
because you will waste at least one figuring things out.
If you have the following, please bring to the class-
Scissors, Chain Nose Pliers, Sharpie, Masking Tape, and Ruler.

We will be combining beads and beading wire to make a
bracelet and/or necklace for this class with the help of crimp beads to hold it
all together. Students will be taught about material selection and how to use
crimp tubes and crimpers correctly to make sturdy crimps. $15.00 plus materials
July 25th
1-3 Wire Wave Pendant:
This class started off originally as a bracelet
class under the old class system. I made a mistake with a sample and this class
was born from it. Using oval beads and wire, we will create a wrapped
serpentine pendant with beads that move. Another option is to use round beads
and create more of a looped serpentine-the copper and blue version. $25.00 plus materials
July 27th
6-8 Pearl Knotting:
An ancient
form of making jewelry that is still popular in modern times. Knots were used
to create a barrier between fragile surfaces of pearls and so if the strand did
break you would only lose a couple pearls not the whole piece. Pearls have been
a sign of wealth worn by royalty and the wealthy as a sign of status. In
traditional pearl knotting, originally a needle was used to guide the silk
thread to form a knot right up against the pearl. Then they started to use fine
point tweezers. Then came a hand held knotting tool and the latest a table top
unit. I have found the tweezer method to be the best and the easiest to master.
$25.00 plus materials
Kit: Select White, Cream or Gunmetal Grey and Kim will put together a kit with the option of buying the tweezers. The kit ensures that the pearls and cord are correct for pearl knotting. Kit Options Coming Soon.
August 1st
1-3 Wrapped Cuff: Using the Thing-a-ma-jig, we will take a thick flat
aluminum wire and transform it into serpentine cuff with beads wired into the
loops. Unlike a bracelet, the cuff a cuff does not have a clasp to keep it on. This is a modification of a
cover image from a jewelry magazine who had a clasp on it.
August 15th
1-2:30 Double Strand Bracelet:
This bracelet can pair nicely with the Wire
Wrap Beginning necklace by using the same sliders and beads. In this class, we
will create a bracelet that is two strands bridged by 2 hold sliders and using
a two strand clasp. Double strand bracelets are the first step to working with
double strands in necklaces, you learn the techniques needed without having to
factor in drape. $15.00 plus materials
August 22nd
1-3 Rings 2: Second in the rings class, here we will create 2 rings that are adjustable
include one that designed for the upper part of the finger which is a popular
trend. Then we will use a large bead to create a ring.
