Modern Pearls

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Beading with Wire, Chain & Leather »

Instructions

No special instructions. My son gave me the pearls from Vietnam, and I wasn't sure what to do with them. Once I saw the class, I knew I could do something, and I'm really happy with how the items turned out.

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Mod, Romantic, Casual


Materials

Pearls, chain, crimping tubes, beads

What was your inspiration?

LOVED the class. I gave away all my beading supplies a year ago because I wasn't doing much with them. I'd never taken a class. This class made me realize I could do so much more than I thought I could, and it gave me a lot of ideas.

What are you most proud of?

I love the two pieces I made. I wear them all the time.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just do it! With all the coupons and sales available at JoAnn's and Michael's, it was very affordable to get started.

Highly! I had a bunch of beading supplies that I gave away because I didn't feel like I was doing anything that great. I'd never taken a class, so I was winging it, and I wasn't winging it well. This class covers a lot of basics, but even if you've been beading for a while, there are a lot of great projects that really get you motivated. I'm sure you'd learn something new. Now I'm so bummed that I gave everything away, but Candie only uses a few basic tools, so it didn't cost me much to get what I needed to make these necklaces. I'm so glad I did it.

Thanks BadGirl--I've done the same thing in the past! (probably why my studio looks like hoarders, LOL)

Very nice! I used to be really into beading and have all the tools and some supplies. I haven't been inspired recently to make anything but this class looks interesting. Do you recommend it?

This is a really inspiring class whether you're new at beading or have been doing it for a while. Candie is a very inspirational teacher who makes you want to make something right away. I enjoyed watching her enthusiasm and great ideas.
