So what do you think. I love it. Only a few more components and it will be done!
Would you like to do this in a class?
Another Jewel Loom project. This will be class one. I will schedule for end of February or early March. Gives you plenty of time to get your Jewel Loom. Use a good coupon. It is $14.99. So with a good coupon it is a great tool. We will do a few different classes with it but it is best to start with these larger beads and learn how to set up and how it works. So much fun
Happy Beading

Happy New Year Everyone!!
Hope you all are enjoying a few days off and getting to do some fun beading. I know I did I have been making up lots of samples for the next few months of classes. I know you are all going to love them.
Today we had a fun time doing some make up classes at Michaels.
Susan made her first beaded kumi bracelet it came out great. Looking forward to see you all soon at a class.
Don’t forget next Saturday January 9th is Michaels open house and all classes are 50% off.
Below is a project that I did this week. I usually do all beaded kumi but this one I used a thicker cord and I think it came out great. All it needs is a clasp.
Happy Beading
