Create a one-of-a-kind bead embroidered necklace. Students will select a kit to work from but additional beads will be available to choose from so each student will end up with a finished necklace that is uniquely theirs. Some kits feature a feather, flower, or butterfly focal. Others do not incorporate a mixed media element. Each student will select the project according to their individual taste. Bead embroidery is a technique using beads instead of embroidery floss to create a design on fabric. Once the technique is learned, it has a variety of purposes which will be discussed as part of the class. Additional kits will be available for purchase at a discount rate.
