6. TITLE:   Message in a Bottle Necklace

DESCRIPTION:  Learn to do the basic Japanese 8 strand braid known as Kumihimo. We will use a hand-held disk to make the braid. It looks complex but it is really very simple. We’ll use the finished braid to make a necklace featuring a tiny bottle. You will personalize your necklace by putting your own items in the bottle. A few suggestions are: sand, tiny shells, gems, buttons, tiny charms, and perhaps a “secret message”. (Note: The picture is not the exact necklace we will be making but it gives you a general idea of the look.)

CLASS SIZE:  Max 12

KIT :   $7.00 Includes a re-usable kumihimo disk, materials and a clasp to finish the necklace.
 
BRING:  Scissors. Tiny items to put in your bottle; the opening in the bottle is just ¼”.
