Fern Blossom Bracelet
The fern flower is a magic flower in the Baltic mythology. It blooms only once per year for a very short time and brings luck for person who finds it. The brightly colored focal (our fern flower) is formed from three layers of felt and in the middle of it is a decorative, beaded motif. The bonus of this venture is the option to make ornamental blanket stitch on the edges of flowers, which adds to the hidden mystery of this project.The strap is easy adjustable and the whole piece can be a part of the necklace project or form a nice brooch.

Summer Blossoms
Using right angle weave stitch this feminine and summery looking bracelet. The tiny colorful ribbed melon beads provide necessary texture and dimension to this project. The flower components can be rearranged in any order and each of them provides a nice base for necklaces, earrings or can be added to other designs.

Aurora Borealis
Using diagonal peyote stitch and beaded components create this cuff, which resembles beautiful yet elusive northern lights. You will have the opportunity to exercise your peyote skills, learn how to work around the clasp part of this project (which can be also done as a bangle bracelet), and add to this the glamorous sparkles of magical crystals, which we will capture using a variety of pearls, seed beads and Super Duos. You will learn how to use diagonal peyote stitch to shape the body of any bracelet; how to transform it to make a bangle or how to create a clasp attachment. We will also practice settings round crystals and forming the unique beaded frames around them.

Industrial Cuff
This bracelet consists of rectangular-shaped components that are double-layered. These layers are connected with right-angle weave stitch on the edges. Links between components are made with an odd count peyote stitch that are flexible (they form tubes). On top of each link is a decorative motif, a round rivoli crystal enclosed in a square box, which makes us think there is a square-shaped crystal inside. The custom-made clasp looks exactly like one of the links and hides the closure. A layer above the central decorative component creates still another level in this project.

Cassiopeia Lily Cuff
The class is divided in two parts: first students will make the base of this cuff using flat herringbone stitch. To shape the cuff they will use a metal bracelet blank, around which is the herringbone strip. The second part consists of building several components, which are later attached on the top of this cuff. There are five kinds of these components, the central one consisting of the three-layered, dimensional netting which captures a 14 mm round pearl.

Metallic Silver
This project is a great way to master peyote stitch and suitable for beaders who enjoy detailed bead weaving. Students will first design the base of this cuff, which has a shape of slightly “broken” double-layered diamonds. Small triangle-shaped components create an interesting edgy finish and asymmetry, which adds to the complexity of the piece.

Industrial Beauty
This unique bracelet consists of rectangular-shaped geometrical components. These double layers are connected by right-angle weave stitch on the edges. Segments are joined together with links made with an odd count peyote stitch that are flexible (they form tubes). On top of each link is a decorative motif, a round crystal enclosed in the square box, which makes us think there is square-shaped crystal inside. The custom-made clasp looks exactly like one of the links and hides the closure.
