TITLE: Message in a Bottle Necklace

do the basic Japanese 8 strand braid known as Kumihimo. We will use a hand-held

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.

items to put in your bottle; the opening in the bottle is just ¼”.
