Queen Bead's SNEAKY PEARLS

Beginner Class, 2 hours, $20.50 plus materials ($20 - $30)

Click here to see a selection of our pearls online
(there is a much bigger selection of pearls in store)

Come along and learn to knot pearls on the proper silk cord. Learn how to use French Wire, attach a clasp and finish the ends neatly and professionally. Sneaky knotting is done on two strands of silk cord instead of the tradional way which uses only one. It is much faster and easier! As a general rule you will make a bracelet in class so you get to learn both the start and finish. Please discuss making a necklace with your tutor.
