Another Wednesday, Another Class Canceled...

Called A.C. Moore and no one has signed up for tonight's UFO Night/Bead Social so it has been canceled.

Next week's class is Pearl and Chain Necklace. I'll post all of the specifics in a few days.

Happy Beading!

Monthly Bead Social on Friday, Saturday or Sunday?

Would anyone be interested in a monthly "Bead Social" to be held on a Friday or Saturday night or Sunday afternoon at A.C. Moore? Time would be from approx. 5:30pm to 8:30pm. We could even do it during the day if that works better for you.

Cost would be $5 per person and tools would be available for use during this time so you'd only have to bring your beads! No instruction just a get together to work on your projects, show off your work and get feedback from other beaders/jewelry makers.

Please leave a comment below or send me an email if you'd be interested. If you prefer a different day/time just let me know.

Thanks! Happy Beading!

Tonight's Class CANCELED

Sorry to say but tonight's class has been canceled. There were several people interested in this class but no one actually signed up at A.C. Moore. As I've said before, please sign up at the store as far in advance as possible (minimum 24 hours = 6:00pm on Tuesday) to avoid the class being canceled. Even if only one student has signed up I will hold class.

If Wednesdays from 6:00-8:15pm doesn't work for you let me know and I'll try to make arrangements for another day/time.

Hope to see you soon. Happy beading!

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.

CLASS CANCELED - 10/6/2010

Where oh where have my beading students gone?

No one signed up for tonight's class so it has been canceled.

EVERYONE was asking for the Beaded Crystal Heart class yet no one signed up.

I'll be beading tonight. I think I'm going to try to make some hearts out of some other types of beads. I'll post pics when I'm done. If they turn out good! LOL

Hope to see you soon. Happy beading!
