Ride a painted pony, let the spinning wheel ride...

Okay, so our spinning wheel has nothing to do merry-go-rounds, but it is a great tool to have if you work with seed bead to make projects with fringe or multiple strands. Simply pour seed beads into the cup (and we have plenty of seed beads for purchase), insert the spinning wheel needle, spin and watch the beads climb onto your thread - an excellent time saver.

Don't forget, every online purchase over $50 includes FREE shipping!

Make a caterpiller bracelet

This is one caterpillar that doesn't need to change into a butterfly to be beautiful!

This class is a combination of two techniques First, basic stringing and second, weaving using needle and thread to complete the fringe. You'll make a fun and funky bracelet that will go great with any outfit! This class is still on the basic level, so even if you haven't taken the Basic Stringing class you can leave knowing it and more!

Our next Caterpillar Bracelet class is June 30th at The Bead Cottage. See you there!
