Meaningful Word Beaded Jewelry

Creating your own personalized message jewelry is a rewarding process that allows for self-expression, creativity, and mindfulness. In this class, you’ll discover how to combine beaded designs with the power of words to convey messages, set intentions or celebrate milestones. You get to make your designs say what YOU want; your kid’s names, your special word, your favorite mantra to anything else that speaks to you.

Participants will learn how to use a design board, how to create your own unique bead and message patterns and how to use different stringing and finishing techniques. You’ll leave this class with 2-3 bracelets and/or necklaces that are both beautiful and significant to you making them perfect to wear for yourself or give as gifts.
