Module Description:
This module will help us to understand that Beadwork is the art or craft
of making things with beads. Beads can be woven together with specialized thread, strung
onto thread or soft, flexible wire, or adhered to a surface (e.g. fabric, clay).
Expected Outcomes:
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
To create a bracelet incorporating ideas learned from local and/or regional jewelry artists
using beaded materials or any materials in the locality.
The real stars of the show are the beads and charms you choose.
While it might be tempting to go with multicolor beads, we've found
that the best results come from a uniform color. But go with
whatever hues and patterns work best with your wardrobe.
Beads
Elastic cording
Ring and clasp
Charms
Scissors
Small pliers
Glue
Using your wrist as a guide, figure out how much elastic cording
you're going to need. Err on the side of more than less because you
can always cut off the excess but you can't add more.
To start the bracelet, double knot a plain gold ring on the end of
your cording.
This next step is the easiest but also the most satisfying. You're
going to string your beads on. We love these simple blue beads that
we chose—they're not too tiny. The bigger the beads, the less you'll
need.
Take your time as you string the beads on and check in on the
length every so often by holding it up to your wrist.
Add a Charm
About three-quarters of the way through the beading process, you
can add a charm as we did here. Or, if you want, you can add more
than one as you go—it's really your preference. Because of the size
of the beads we used, we didn't need any sort of spacers to keep
the charm in place.
Tie on and secure your clasp with a double knot and some glue.
How easy was that? Now that you have the supplies, don't be
surprised when you end up with a whole collection of these beautiful
pieces. Or, if you're feeling generous, you can give away some of
these as gifts to your best friends or family.
