Wirey necklaces and peyote stitch bracelets are the projects for the day. The wirey necklace is made of “artistic wire” and a great assortment of beads and charms. This collar is a very popular project and is as much fun to make as it is to wear. The peyote stitch bracelet is an off-loom project that is done with a needle and thread using fabulous Japanese beads and a magnet clasp. Though not required for this class some beading experience is an asset. Bead kits will supply you with all you need for the day.
