Bead Party

I ordered a LOT of bright, fun acrylic beads from China and I'm teaching my friends how to make Charming Charlie-style necklaces at cost. Everyone reading this is welcome to come. However, since we can only squeeze so many people around a table - and I only have 10 pairs of round nose pliers - we're going to have to divide this up into more than one night. Here's the info:

Friday July 17th @ 8 pm
Bring a small treat to share & $5 for every necklace you want to make.

**OR**

Friday July 24th @ 8 pm
Bring a small treat to share & $5 for every necklace you want to make.


We are making multi-colored necklaces. Depending on demand, you might have the option of doing additional colors.


• Allow at least ONE HOUR to complete ONE 33-36 inch necklace.
• If you don't want to share tools, consider purchasing round nose pliers from Hobby Lobby.
• Loose beads will be available for purchase if you'd like to make more necklaces at home.
• Beads are very tempting to toddlers but pose a serious choking hazard. No children please.


PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH THE DATE YOU WANT TO ATTEND SO I CAN MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH ROOM FOR EVERYONE!
We will add an additional night if needed.
If you told me in person you would attend, I have forgotten which date. E-mail me!
Friday July 17th: FULL!

ETA: Beads arrived today (7/10) and wow, are they GORGEOUS!!!! I am making example necklaces to photograph & will post pics as soon as I can.

So you know, each class will get 1/2 of the beads. The second class will start out with fresh beads (not picked-through leftovers) so that it remains fair to everyone. IF a class runs out of beads or a bead color, participants would need to come back to the second class to have access to those colors. However, there are so many beads, it would be very difficult for us to run out of any one color unless 40 people all want to make yellow necklaces! Still, since we are dealing with a limited resource, it's going to be a first come, first serve. Literally, the first people to my house that night select their beads first.

Wow Tay! I don't think I even know 20 people, much less have 20 people that I would invite into my home. It must be nice having lots of friends. Poor Brian. I hope he can get out of the house...
