Take your beading to a new level by boldly mixing unique brass findings with lustrous seed beads and pearls. Students will first use circular square stitch to create seed-bead connectors embellished with bead caps. Then, we'll use pearl-embellished strips of ladder stitch to join the beadwoven connectors to the metal connectors. Snaps are hidden inside a custom clasp for a clean finish.
