Fun with Beaded Beads


We had big fun making beaded beads. The biggest challenge with these little guys is holding them. The number of things we thought we would do with them was huge. I think this might have been one of the most fun classes. Maybe it was because you had a finished product in a very short period of time. Keep making them ladies. Let's see some necklaces!!!
