This is part 3 of a 3-part class to complete the entire piece. However, each piece can be taken separately (with prerequisites).

Part 3: The Clasp – Advanced Beginner/Intermediate

Knowing how to bead your own clasps greatly enhances your work, adds interest, and is generally cheaper than purchasing clasps!

 

The class will cover how to make a Peyote tube (odd count). The method I use for this is easily doable by an advanced beginner student! We will also cover open shapes for the loop portion. We will MAKE the triangle version, but options for other shapes will be discussed.

 

Prerequisites:

·       SOME experience with Peyote stitch and Peyote shapes such as triangles.

·       Good Tension control.

·       Ability to work with tight tension.

·       Note: The previous 2 classes will meet these requirements.

 Supply List:

Size 11 Delica beads in 2 colors, 1 primary and 1 accent - One 7.2 gram bag of each color

Thread - 6# or 8# non-stretch thread (i.e. Fireline)

Needle
