Beaded Jump Ring Jewelry Class - 10/20 @ 6:00pm

This is a fun project (and one of my favorites!) using jump rings and larger seed beads or other small/medium sized beads. It is sometimes referred to as "shaggy loops". In this class you’ll learn the proper way to open and close jump rings. This is a good introduction to working with jump rings before taking on a regular chain maille class. The more jump rings and beads you add, the fuller and more lush the bracelet becomes. Once you get the hang of it you can move onto a necklace and/or earrings! Project may not be completed in class.

Supplies:
• Size 6 or 8 seed beads or triangles or cubes (assorted colors work best)
• 6mm and/or 7mm jump rings
• Coordinating clasp (toggle or lobster claw)
• Premade bracelet chain (optional)
• Earring findings (optional)

Tools:
• Two pair of round nose or flat nose pliers
• Bead board and/or bead mat (recommended but not necessary)

Cost: $20 + supplies
Time: 6:00pm - 8:15pm
Location: AC Moore
             550 Mt. Pleasant Avenue
             Dover/Rockaway, NJ
             (973) 442-1265

NOTE: You must sign up at A.C. Moore in advance. If no one has signed up 24 hours before class then it will be canceled.

Hope to see you there! Happy beading.
