Cellini Spiral Bracelet

Cost of Tuition is $30.00 (plus materials of $12 - $20) Time Approx 2hrs - suitable for ages 13yrs+

 

A great version of Tubular Peyote using different size seed beads to create a ruffle effect. You can go really chunky or not so big with this stitch and it is loads of fun.

 

If you are learning it is easier to learn Tubular Peyote first and then move on to this one and making your first bracelet in a similar colour scheme first is a little easier. But of course if you wish to go all out on colour - please do! In saying this if you wish to give it a go no experience is necessary.

Herringbone (Ndebele Class)

Cost of Tuition $30.00 plus (Approx $10-$15 in materials) Approx 2hrs - 2.5hrs - Suitable for ages 13yrs +

 Another stitch to add to your repertoire and can be used in so many ways. Works up relatively fast especially if using larger beads, as two beads are picked up in each stitch. In the class you will be learning with size 8 seed beads but all manner of sizes and shapes can be used for this. Similar to twisted herringbone but this is actually the precurser so gives an altogether different look.
