Often times Beadweaving has a bad reputation of taking too much time since it involves a beading needle, C-Lon or Nymo thread and seed beads. However this basic stitch is fast paced. You should be able to get a great start, if not finish your bracelet during class time. Pick out two high contrast bead colors for maximum effect!
When: Saturday, Feb 10th, 10:30 A..M.
(Louise will be available to help with bead selection at 10 AM).
Where: Ohio Beads & Gems store in Downtown Mason

Many people feel challenged when it comes to blending colors of seed beads, Czech glass beads and vintage German glass beads. Cynthia has personally mixed lots of bags with a variety of beads guaranteed to look attractive knotted on Griffin Silk or C-Lon Cord. Even without highlighting these mixes, they have been the best sellers over the past week.
Hurry in to choose your bead mixes!
While you are looking, you will see reduced prices on select seed beads (including many white and clear varieties), seed bead super bags (50 grams) and select Swarovski Cubes that we are being discontinued.
