TITLE: Dowel and Bead Spine Book
DESCRIPTION: This book is simple enough for a child to make yet
sophisticated enough for an adult to appreciate. The construction is a little
different because it uses beads and a dowel for a spine. A little creative
thinking will yield many other options for objects that can be used as a spine.
Consider a small wooden spoon for a cookbook, a huge nail for an industrial
look, twigs for a nature look, or a pencil, or a paintbrush. The techniques are
easy and fun. You can vary the size of the book. Add binding station if you
wish. The creative possibilities are endless.
CLASS SIZE: 12
KIT: $3.00 Includes
most supplies.
BRING: Scissors. Pencil. Bone folder
(if you have one). Ruler. Your own glue stick would be handy so you don’t have
to share. Judy will have kits, however, if there is certain decorative paper
you want to use – like a particular scrapbook paper or hand made paper - you will need 2 pieces at least 8x8 and 2 pieces
of coordinating paper for the liner 5 1/2 by 5 1/2. You may bring any cover
embellishments and fibers you want to try.
WORKSHOP LEADER: Judy Lapato
DAY/TIME: Saturday 10:30 to 12 noon

TITLE: Kaleidoscopes
DESCRIPTION:
Let's
make Kaleidescopes from...You Guessed It...Toilet paper rolls! I
will provide the toilet paper rolls, the shiny stuff for the inside, plastic
and metal inserts, directions and pattern, lots of ribbons and braids, a few
lace appliques for beaders, my bag of bead soup.
CLASS SIZE: 20
KIT: $3.00 (A variety of supplies notes
above)
BRING: Bring your
own SHINY beads (if you have some), etc. You need to bring a small bottle of
white glue, scissors, a roll of 1 inch wide blue painters tape, shiny stickers
if you have some (I will bring some too) and be ready to have fun making
something from your childhood.
WORKSHOP LEADER: Judi Ward
DAY/TIME: Friday 1:30 to 3:00 PM

TITLE: Netted Pearl Bracelet
DESCRIPTION:
Since
folks liked the bracelet I wore to SBTS last fall, I decided to offer it as a
workshop. The technique can be done by anyone with basic beading experience.
With different color combinations you can create many different looks.
CLASS SIZE: 12
KIT:
The kit contains
a needle, thread, size 15 accent beads, triangle or size 11 connecting beads
and a clasp. Depending on your vision, you might want to visit the $
store for a pair of readers for close work. You may bring, or I will
provide a tray to keep your beads together. Cost $3
From left

Navy blue

The last
sample is 6 mm pearls with old gold accents. If you wish to work in 6 mm,
please email me for the requirements.
If you want
to start your bracelet ahead of time, (Wednesday or Thursday) just drop by and
we will make a plan
BRING: You will need to choose the color pearls that you
want. They are available for $1 per strand at Michaels. If your
wrist measures 6 and a half inches or less, you need two strands of 4 mm beads,
otherwise you need 3 strands of 4 mm beads. You need to make up your mind
what color accent beads you want to use. The main choices are gold or
silver, but other choices are available depending on the look you want.
Bring
your basic beading tools.

DAY/TIME: Friday 10 AM to 12 noon
4. TITLE: Make a Fascinator
DESCRIPTION:
This is meant as purely a fun exercise and not a millinery
triumph; although, I am sure some of you can elevate it to just that. Sewing is
not involved; although again, some of you may prefer to use some sewing. My
versions are hot glued together.
Participants will create a fascinator that can be worn using
any/many combinations of materials. We will be using a headband and/or a foam
shape for the base of the fascinator. Patterns will be provided for shapes or
you can make your own. By hot gluing materials such as feathers, netting,
fabric, pipe cleaners, beads, shells, photos, fancy papers, faux flowers, or
things you provide to make it uniquely your own you can be inspired to create a
fascinator more thrilling than the royal family’s. 
CLASS SIZE:
15 max
KIT: $5.00
Includes: head bands, patterns, foam sheets, some of the following:
feathers, netting, pipe cleaners, shells, buttons, tissue paper, fancy papers,
ribbon, yarn, beads, faux flowers.
BRING: If
you wish to use certain colors or items, you should bring them. This is a great
way to use small bits of precious items from your stash. There will be lots to
share, but bring other things or more of these things. I have 2 hot glue guns,
but more would be helpful as well as glue sticks.
