Bead Society Meeting - Krystal Kumihimo, June 20th, 2019

Good afternoon,

Our next meeting is June 20th, the Krystal Kumihimo bracelet. I've attached a supply list and pictures of the finished project.

There is also a picture of how to string your beads, should you wish to do so before the meeting. If this is not something you feel comfortable doing on your own, don't worry! Just come to the meeting early with your beads, we'll help you out.

See you next week!
