Hi folks,

We had 26 attending to the last meeting and got to play around with Yo-yo beads. A big thank you to Ann Hochman for teaching and her helpers. Good progress was made by a number of people and some had even finished an earring before the end of the evening. Thank you for attending everyone!

Christmas in July

For our next project, we'll be making a pretty beaded ornament, a bit different from what we've had for ornaments in the past, a ball made out of beads. Great gift for the winter holidays and once you get the technique down, you can do it in miniature for pendants or even earrings.

Supply List

3 mm bead or a #6 seed bead in any neutral color (silver, gold, AB clear, etc.) for fill in between large beads.
Big eye needle if needed for better control
Scissors
Mat
Light

The Bead Society shall provide kits of large acrylic beads and monofilament line.

Colors are red, blue, purple and white, first come, first served. The first kit is free to members, additional kits may be purchased for $1.50.

Hi folks,

I hope the beginning of summer is finding you well. Our next project is Yo Yo bead earrings, these beads do not have a drill hole so turning these beads into jewelry requires a different technique than you've seen in previous meetings.

There are a limited number of Yo Yo beads supplied by the Bead Society for Members attending the meeting. If you have not already reserved your beads, you need to contact Ann Hochman ASAP. The meeting is only two weeks away so don't delay!
