Beginning Bead Stringing

Learn to knot between beads so semi-precious stones and pearls are protected from rubbing against each other or from spilling across the room if the strand ever breaks. Use sterling or gold French coil to attach the clasp for a professional finish to any necklace.

Available kit for $25: The kit includes rose quartz 8mm beads, silk beading thread, sterling or gold filled clasp, French coil and knotting tweezers. Additional beads may be purchased in class and added to the design.

Beaded Lace Collar Necklace

This lacy effect is created with the vertical netting stitch done in small beads with a needle and thread. A simple closure is made with a larger bead and a loop of small beads. Freshwater teardrop pearls are added for a striking design on the bottom edge. The technique can be used for edging on scarves and clothes.
