This project is sometimes referred to as "shaggy loops". It's a fun project using jump rings and larger seed beads (or other small/medium sized beads). 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 necklace/bracelet/earrings become. Project may not be completed in class.
Supplies: Size 6 or 8 seed beads (assorted colors work best), 6 and/or 7mm jump rings, coordinating clasp, earring findings, a bead mat is also recommended
Cost: $20 + supplies
Time: 6:15pm - 8:45pm

Julie,
ReplyDeleteThis class was so much fun!!! I've made two birthday gifts for friends and am working on a Halloween project for myself!
Thanks!

Mindy,
ReplyDeleteI just love these too! I think I've made 20+ of these now - between the necklaces, bracelets and earrings. You had a great idea when you added several small beads to the jump rings. I haven't tried it yet though.
I made a Halloween bracelet and earrings yesterday for my Pumpkinfest on Sunday. I don't know if I want to sell them though!
