Introduction
“Where did you get that gorgeous bracelet? I’d love to have one just like it”
At some point in your lifetime you’ve likely had someone ask you this question. Perhaps you responded by saying it was a gift, or by reciting the name of the store where you found the piece. Whatever your response you no doubt enjoyed having someone admire your taste in jewelry.
Imagine now how much fun it would be to answer that you made the bracelet yourself—beads and all.
It may sound completely out of reach, but bead making can actually be a fairly simple process to master. You don’t need to be a highly skilled artisan, and you don’t need a lot of expense, hard to obtain materials.
Beads can be created from all sorts of materials—many of which you probably have on hand. For example, did you know that you could create beads out of a potato, a few scraps of paper or a twig from your yard? It’s true. In fact, often the simplest materials create some of the most interesting beads.
In this course we’ll go over techniques for creating beads from clay, wire, formers and a variety of natural materials ranging from paper to twigs. The step-by-step instructions accompanying each lesson will make it easy for you to recreate all of the featured projects on your own.
I’ll even show you some of my own creations along the way!
