Class Sessions
Knot It
25:04
Knot it – wear it – love it; Leather, ribbon and other stringing materials are in the spotlight. We begin with a knotted bracelet featuring dark neon colors, knotted earrings with Erin Siegel, Jill Wiseman gets us started with Kumihimo, and then, Katie shows how to embellish chain with cording.
Wire It

Wire wrapping is one of our all time favorite techniques; keep it fresh with these updates on tried and true techniques. Make a layered pendant necklace, learn how to wire wrap bangle bracelets using sliders with Barb Switzer, last, make earrings with Patti Bullard. Wire it, wear it and love it.
Shape It
25:06
Today's theme is shape it. Use these techniques to form shapes that give structure and interest to your jewelry projects. Stitch wire and bead chandelier earrings, make gum drop- bead embroidered mandalas with Jennifer Van Benschoten, form a no fail soldered bangle bracelet with Kate Richbourg, and then, sculpt a beaded collar.
Spiral It
25:06
Spiral it, wear it and love it. Spirals are an ancient symbol with many interpretations that work beautifully for your jewelry designs. Create a spiral knot pendant necklace, learn spiral herringbone stitch with Jean Campbell, and meet Laura Timmons for an ultrasuede bracelet with rose pin embellishments.
Wrap It
25:05
Wrap bracelets and wire wrapping are just two ways to get wrapped up in beads. Katie shows how to embellish flip flops, Barb Switzer creates wire wrapped chandelier earrings, Erin Siegel demonstrates a leather wrap bracelet, and last featured are stacking wired bracelets; wrap it today, wear it tonight and love it every day.
Weave It
25:03
Weave it, wear it and love it; woven jewelry is in! Wire wrap to attach crystals and beads to flat braided cord, create a loomed affinity bracelet with Julianna Hudgins and learn about beaded kumihimo with Jill Wiseman.
Design It
25:04
Great projects begin with basic design principles. Katie creates a color block necklace, learn about shaping peyote stitch with Jean Campbell, beaded holiday ornaments, and gluing crystal embellishments with Kellie DeFries; design it, wear it and love it.
Twist It
25:03
Twist your way to great projects with an ombre bib style necklace using twisted jump rings, a soldered ring band from twisted wire with Kate Richbourg, and a wire crochet bead ball bracelet.
Link It
25:04
Link filigree and pendants in creative ways. Learn to flat crimp a multi strand bracelet with Candie Cooper, make a square link to link bracelet with Patti Bullard and a draped necklace using premade chain – whether crimping, wrapping; link your jewelry together with these creative ideas.
Tie It
25:03
Tie it all together with a color drop necklace with tied ribbon, a loomed mosaic bracelet using tile beads with Julianna Hudgins and a recycled tie, cuff bracelet featuring crystal with Laura Timmons.
Embellish It

All you need is a needle and thread to stitch your way to beautiful detailing with an embellished leather cuff bracelet using blanket stitch, bead embroidery on a block print with Jennifer Van Benschoten, and flat and circular square stitch with Jean Campbell.
